Apple’s global headlines yesterday were mainly pertaining to the launch of its new third-gen Apple Pencil with USB-C support.
However, another subtle yet impactful update went under the radar—Apple’s 10th-generation basic iPad now features eSIM support in mainland China.
A first for the region, this strategic move is bound to affect the tablet market, yet Apple chose to downplay its significance, not even highlighting it in the headline of their Chinese press release.
So, what’s the takeaway here?
On the one hand, Apple’s focus on its new Rs 7,900 Apple Pencil overshadows a substantial technological shift in one of its cornerstone products in a key market.
On the other hand, the downplay might signal Apple’s strategic approach to test waters in China before making grand announcements.
Apple has added eSIM support to the 10th-Gen iPads in mainland China, allowing for a secure and smooth cellular connection.
No, Apple chose to focus on the third-gen Apple Pencil in their press releases, keeping the eSIM update low-key.
Contrary to rumours, Apple did not introduce any new iPad models. Only the third-gen Apple Pencil was announced.
The third-generation Apple Pencil is priced at Rs 7,900 and comes with USB-C charging support.
