iPhone Air China launch may be delayed due to eSIM regulatory approval Apple’s iPhone Air — the company’s first eSIM-only iPhone with a slim 5.6 mm body — may see a delayed rollout in mainland China because regulators have yet to approve its eSIM-only configuration.

Apple’s support documentation and carrier posts indicate eSIM support for the iPhone Air is still “pending regulatory approval.” China Unicom, China Telecom and China Mobile are…
