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. Via The South China Morning Post, the iPhone Air will not go on sale in China today as Apple continues to work with the Chinese regulators regarding eSIM.

IDC:s rapport för det andra kvartalet 2025 om den globala marknaden för handledsburna enheter visar blandade resultat för Apple Watch.
Xiaomi växer snabbast – Samsung tappar mark
Under samma period förra året skeppade Apple 5,7 miljoner Apple Watch-enheter, strax bakom Xiaomis 5,9 miljoner och betydligt efter Huaweis 8,9 miljoner. Det motsvarade en marknadsandel på 20,3 procent för Huawei, 13,5 procent för Xiaomi och 13,1 procent för Apple.
I den nya rapporten bekräftas att topp tre är oförändrad, men Xiaomi har dragit ifrån Apple med 9,5 miljoner skeppade enheter mot Apples 7,4 miljoner. Samtidigt närmar sig Xiaomi Huawei, som skeppade 9,9 miljoner enheter.
Xiaomi ledde marknadens tillväxt med en ökning på 61 procent jämfört med året innan. Apple växte också stabilt med 28,8 procent. Totalt ökade marknaden med 12,3 procent, till 49,2 miljoner skeppade handledsburna enheter under kvartalet.
Samsung var den enda aktören bland topp fem som tappade, med en minskad marknadsandel på 3,2 procent jämfört med 3,3 procent föregående år. Det var också den enda tillverkaren i topp fem med negativ tillväxt, –2,1 procent färre skeppade enheter.
För Apple är det andra kvartalet ofta en lugn period eftersom nya modeller lanseras senare, i slutet av det tredje kvartalet eller början av det fjärde. Därför väntas starkare siffror för Apple i IDC:s kommande rapporter.
