The Apple Store official website updated today, changing the release date of the iPhone Air to "Release information to be updated later" and stating that "all models will be released after approval." The Apple website now indicates that the iPhone Air can activate the carrier network through eSIM and does not support physical SIM cards. To use eSIM, choose a carrier that supports eSIM and related mobile communication service plans. China Mobile, China Telecom, and China Unicom will provide eSIM support for this product, with the specific timing depending on regulatory approval. Please contact the carrier to confirm their support for eSIM.
