Apple's highly anticipated iPhone Air launch in China is facing delays due to regulatory compliance issues related to eSIM technology. While the device is available for pre-order in over 60 countries, Chinese buyers will have to wait for the official release.
Reports suggest that Apple is working closely with authorities in mainland China to address the eSIM compliance concerns. Despite confirmation from major Chinese carriers that they are ready to support eSIM on the iPhone Air, a release timeline has not been provided by Apple.
As the pre-order page in China currently displays a message stating 'Release information will be updated later,' consumers in the country are eagerly awaiting further updates on the availability of the iPhone Air.
