Overview
- Tmall’s Apple Store offers a 2,000 RMB coupon during the Jan 25–Feb 11 New Year sale, with some regions’ subsidies bringing advertised prices to about 5,499 RMB for limited quantities.
- JD’s Apple store pairs the same 2,000 RMB coupon with regional subsidies and trade‑in credits, advertising about 5,099 RMB and citing effective lows around 4,599–4,659 RMB depending on stacking.
- JD shows iPhone Air as out of stock in a procurement status with restock expected after Feb 3, while orders remain open and the 2,000 RMB coupon stays valid through Feb 11.
- A tech blogger reported cumulative iPhone Air activations under 200,000 units, contrasting with multi‑million activations for the iPhone 17 lineup; this is a single‑source datapoint.
- The discount push comes alongside cuts on other flagships, including Samsung’s Galaxy S25 Edge near 4,949–4,999 RMB after incentives and Apple’s M4 MacBook Air dropping to roughly 4,258–4,777 RMB with subsidies and trade‑ins.
