Apple Inc’s iPhone Air went on sale in China on Oct 22, eliciting a subdued consumer response in the world’s biggest smartphone arena.
The launch in mainland China comes a month after Apple’s latest iPhone lineup rolled out internationally, drawing lengthy lines at many stores. Chinese consumers had to wait longer for the 7,999 yuan (RM4,751) iPhone Air as it only connects to networks via eSIM, something that local carriers have been slow to adopt. It drew curiosity but no big crowds.
