Apple iPhone Air's China release delayed

cnbc.com Annie Palmer 2025-09-29 06:56:06

Participants at the presentation of new iPhone models from Apple try out the new thinner iPhone Air. Apple has postponed the launch of its new iPhone Air model in China due to regulatory issues surrounding its eSIM design, the company said. Wireless carriers in China need a special license from the government before they can sell a new device with an eSIM, and the carriers haven't secured that approval yet, Apple said. The company added that it's working to make the device available in China a

iPhone Air orders in China may be delayed due to eSIM issue

engadget.com Unknown 2025-09-29 15:00:48

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

Apple delays release of iPhone Air in China due to pending approval of eSIM

techcrunch.com Ivan Mehta 2025-09-29 15:15:23

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

Posts from this author will be added to your daily email digest and your homepage feed. Apple has postponed preorders of the iPhone Air in mainland China, which were due to open today, with regulatory issues around eSIM almost certainly to blame. The Chinese store page for the super-slim iPhone says that “release information will be updated later” (translated from Chinese).

iPhone Air launch in China delayed due to eSIM regulatory issues

9to5mac.com Benjamin Mayo 2025-09-30 03:42:25

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.

The best battery life iPhone 17 Pro models are not sold in every country

9to5mac.com Benjamin Mayo 2025-10-02 22:34:20

At Apple’s event yesterday, battery life was one of the big marketing points for the iPhone 17 Pro series. However, it turns out that the best battery life models of the Pro and Pro Max are not actually available to buy worldwide. In the United States, Apple quotes 30 hours streaming video playback for iPhone 17 Pro and 35 hours for iPhone 17 Pro Max. But in the UK, Europe, and elsewhere, the tech specs list battery life of 28 hours and 33 hours respectively, two hours less than their US model

How eSIMs Work, and How to Switch to One From a Standard SIM

wired.com David Nield 2025-10-04 20:00:00

The physical SIM cards we've used for decades are slowly being phased out. With the Pixel 10 series, Google's phones have gone eSIM-only for the first time—at least if you buy them in the US. Apple made the same move with the iPhone 14 in 2022, and now its new iPhone 17 models will operate with eSIMs in a dozen countries, with the slim iPhone Air going eSIM-only everywhere in the world. But how is eSIM different, and what do you need to do to switch? The good news is that by most measures, eSI

iPhone 17 Air will be eSIM only worldwide

techcrunch.com Ivan Mehta 2025-10-05 13:57:51

Apple announced its new thin iPhone 17 Air on Tuesday at its annual hardware event. The company said that this device will have only eSIM support all across the world. Apple managed to cram a lot of tech into a 5.5 mm-thick design, but at the expense of a physical SIM tray. The company opted to ditch physical SIMs for eSIMs for iPhones sold in the U.S. in 2022. “We pioneered eSIM years ago, and now it’s an industry standard, and compared to that, decades-old piece of plastic, eSIM is so much

Pixel 10's US Launch Might Be the Moment That eSIM Finally Becomes Easy

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-10-24 19:00:09

Google's choice to go eSIM-only in the US for the Pixel 10 might actually be a well-timed move by the company. While I was initially concerned that an eSIM-only phone might be a frustrating roadblock for the Pixel 10, several advances in how the US carriers support eSIM, along with a new iOS 26 feature, might actually make it easier than ever to switch your phone. And it's a good thing too, as despite being available for years and being required for the iPhone in the US since 2022's iPhone 14 l

Don’t panic: Losing SIM cards on the Pixel 10 is actually a good thing

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-11-05 21:30:13

Google’s Pixel 10 series is finally here, and for the most part, all the upgrades we were expecting have come to fruition. The Tensor G5 chip promises big performance gains over the G4, the Pixel 10 now has a telephoto camera, and all Pixel 10 models have magnetic charging built in. While it’s mostly good news, there is one change that’s likely to make a lot of people upset: the removal of physical SIM cards. If you buy a Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, or Pixel 10 Pro XL in the United States, you’ll o

Switching from iPhone to Pixel 10? It’ll soon be easier to transfer your eSIM (APK teardown)

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-11-07 08:00:04

TL;DR Google is bringing a new feature to transfer eSIM from iPhone to Android. The feature is expected to work both ways, allowing a seamless migration of profiles. It only works with devices running iOS 26, and is unlikely to work with iPhones running older firmware. Google just unveiled the Pixel 10 series officially. While the new phones bring some welcome improvements like Pixelsnap, a more efficient chipset, and a host of new AI features, there’s one grim change that could rile up folks

Pixel 10 series in the US drops physical SIM, while the rest of the world gets to keep it

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-11-07 11:00:37

TL;DR The Pixel 10, 10 Pro, and 10 Pro XL models sold in the US don’t have a physical nano-SIM slot. Instead, the phones rely on dual eSIMs, with the option of storing over eight eSIM profiles. The Pixel 10 Pro Fold is the only device in the lineup to retain the nano-SIM + eSIM combination. Google’s new Pixel 10 lineup has made a rather bold connectivity choice. The Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, and Pixel 10 Pro XL sold in the US won’t come with a physical SIM slot. This will make the new Pixels th

Harley Maranan / Android Authority Although switching carriers isn’t a hard process, it’s one many of us are reluctant to take. Maybe you’ve been with the same carrier for years and are afraid of jumping ship. It’s also possible you could be facing carrier fees or will have to pay off devices before making a move. Either way, you want to be sure what you switch to is better than what you came from. That’s where an eSIM free trial comes in handy. There are actually quite a few carriers that all

3 tips I use every time I travel to avoid exorbitant roaming fees

Ryan Haines / Android Authority I still remember when my husband got slapped with an exorbitant €70 extra fee on his €10 basic mobile plan because he mistakenly went online for a few minutes during a layover in Turkey. Since then, avoiding roaming fees has been our personal crusade, especially since we like travelling and our basic local data plans have ridiculously expensive fees when we step outside of Europe.

Cubit Studios showed off its Infinitesimals sci-fi game with tiny characters and some very big bugs. It’s an upcoming third-person sci-fi action-adventure which will be published in 2026 by Epic Games Publishing. You’re kind of like a bug yourself, and you’re pitted against some much bigger ones. I got a demo from Cubit Studios at the Epic Games booth at the Summer Game Fest Showcase on Sunday.
