When Apple first released the iPhone Air last month, it was missing from a key market: China. This was because the iPhone Air is eSIM-only due to its ultra-thin design, and China has strict regulations about eSIM technology.

Apple unveiled iPhone Air, its thinnest iPhone ever, nearly three weeks ago at this point. It’s an incredibly impressive model, and I’ve been thoroughly enjoying mine since I picked it up on launch day last Friday.

Ever since Apple unveiled the iPhone Air, calling it its most durable iPhone ever, it feels like all of the Apple YouTube community has been waiting to see the JerryRigEverything hands-on test.
