engadget.com Unknown 2025-11-06 22:00:48

Apple's iPhone Air launch may be delayed in China due to regulations around its eSIM-only nature, the South China Morning Post announced. Apple's mainland China site now states that "release information [will] be updated later," where previously it said that pre-orders would start at 8PM on September 19. The Beijing branch of China Telecom has also pulled a post from the RedNote social media platform announcing that it would launch its eSIM service this month. All other iPhone models (the iPhone

techcrunch.com Ivan Mehta 2025-11-06 22:15:23

In Brief Apple is set to release its upcoming iPhone 17 series on September 19 in most countries across the world. However, the eSIM-only iPhone Air’s release is being delayed in China, likely due to regulatory issues around the approval of the embedded SIM. Apple’s website notes that all three Chinese state-owned network providers, China Mobile, China Telecom and China Unicom, will offer eSIM support for the iPhone Air, but says the timing of the release will be subject to regulatory approval

You shouldn’t buy the best Android phone

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-11-07 12:00:12

Robert Triggs / Android Authority Last week, I came across a now-deleted Reddit thread from a Google Pixel user who discussed their perceived satisfaction when using a Google Pixel 9a versus the more expensive Pixel 9 Pro. The original poster detailed their experience buying the most expensive Pixel out there, not being happy with it, returning it, and buying the Pixel 9a instead, and ending up much more content with the cheaper phone despite their (very tech-savvy) friends’ constant taunting a

Apple’s latest batch of handsets includes the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17 Pro Max, and the all-new iPhone Air.

Apple’s new iPhones, including the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17 Pro Max, and the ultra-thin iPhone Air, are finally going out into the world. Once again, the lineup reads like it’s chasing a lot of things Android users have been enjoying for years, but that’s really not a bad thing. From more generous base storage to longer battery life, newer camera tricks, and more, Apple is slowly but steadily narrowing the list of “Android-only” advantages.

iPhone Air launch in China delayed due to eSIM regulatory issues

9to5mac.com Benjamin Mayo 2025-11-07 12:42:25

The iPhone Air is Apple’s flashiest new iPhone model, featuring a strikingly thin industrial design. One of the ways Apple achieved this sleek profile was to maximise internal space by making all iPhones Airs rely on eSIM, with no physical SIM card slot model available. Despite announcing at the event that the iPhone Air would be available in China through carrier China Telecom, Apple has since delayed the launch.

Full Moon: Seestar S50 vs. Samsung S25

The full moon is one of those sights that almost begs to be photographed, no matter what camera you’re using. Most of the time, that means a smartphone, and to be fair, modern phones are excellent at handling bright subjects like the moon. Of course, a telescope should reveal far more than a phone camera, but I wanted to see just how big that difference really is. So last night, under clear skies, I took two photos.
