Why would China set has different chip and parts, and water resistance will not be as good due to dual sim slot?  hmm.gif

This is going to be good... rolleyes.gif
You do know that no matter where you buy your iphone from, it will still be made in the same factory in China right? 

When Apple claims the Xs and Xs Max are IP68, then the phone has to pass certain tests to qualify it for IP68 compliancy. So unless you are doubting Apple QC controls.  whistling.gif

Do you know that using different chip and parts will actually increase the costs of production as Apple will have to come up with different parts for phones of different regions, as you claimed.

The dual sim slot is similar to your normal sim slot, only that it is made to accomodate two sims on on top and on on the bottom. Many android phones are already dual sim already.
The only difference I could think of between phones of different regions would be network bandwidth. But I will have to wait for the spec sheet to come out first before confirming.

Some China people are used to dual sim since Nokia era, many of their clone phones had dual sim while Nokia had only few, so the difference is about the sales. Apple does not want to wait the China telco coming out with e sim

For the cost, I think 10 millions line and 100 millions line would come out the same production cost per iPhone.
