flag Apple's iPhone Air launch in China drew weak consumer interest despite high global demand.

flag Apple launched the iPhone Air in China on October 22, 2025, with a lukewarm reception despite global demand. flag Priced at 7,999 yuan ($1,120), the device, which uses only eSIM technology and lacks a physical SIM slot, faced delays due to slow carrier adoption in China. flag While major carriers now support eSIM, requiring in-person activation, consumers showed limited enthusiasm, with no long lines and most browsing rather than buying. flag The iPhone 17 series saw a 14% sales increase over the previous generation in its first 10 days, but the Air’s unique design and premium price did not drive strong demand amid fierce competition from local brands like Huawei, Xiaomi, and Oppo.
