　　While Apple hasn’t released a date when the iPhone 6 will finally be available in China, itsbiggest growth market and third largest market total, that’s likely not by choice. A Shanghaibusiness paper quoting a source saying Apple hasn’t received a network license for the newiPhone from China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. Last year, as noted byCheung Kong Graduate School of Business, the iPhone 5S and 5C were granted networkaccess even before Apple formally launched the products.

　　尽管苹果尚未就iPhone 6何时才能正式登陆中国表态，不过中国作为苹果的全球第三大市场和增长最快的市场，iPhone 6迟迟不能在华上市似乎也不是苹果愿意看到的结果。上海的一份商务报纸引述消息人士的话称，苹果至今尚未获得中国工信部的入网许可证。据长江商学院(Cheung Kong Graduate School ofBusiness)指出，去年iPhone 5S和iPhone 5C早在正式发布之前，就获得了工信部的入网许可证。

　　There is precedent. The iPhone 4 was released in China three months after it becameavailable in the U.S. The iPhone 5 was also released three months later in Mainland China. Thereasons behind those delays are less clear. For the iPhone 5, Apple sold it as soon as it receivedapproval from China’s regulators in 2012. It looks like regulators are again slowing theprocess.

　　iPhone在中国迟迟不上市也是有先例的。比如iPhone 4就是在美国上市了三个月后，才在中国发布的。iPhone 5也是晚于美国上市三个月。这些机型推迟发布的理由我们并不清楚。对于iPhone 5来说，2012年它通过中国监管机构的批准之后，苹果就立即启动了上市销售。看来这次又是监管机构拖了上市的后腿。

　　China’s tens of millions of social media users are quick to mock: iPhones may be built inChina, but rarely are they sold here first.

　　中国几千万社交媒体用户迅速进入吐槽状态：有网友表示，iPhone虽然可能是在中国组装的，但是它们很少在这儿先开卖。
