Apple recently unveiled its newest smartphones: The iPhone 15 Pro Max, iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Plus, and iPhone 15 Pro Max. As usual, each iPhone 15 model was created with a particular part of the world in mind. The software, hardware, and cellular bandwidth support of these devices may thus have very minor variations.
In this blog post, we will focus on the iPhone 15 models for China Mainland, Hong Kong, and Macao. We will discuss their model and part numbers, cellular bands, and how they vary from the iPhone models that are offered in other countries and regions.

How the iPhone 15 A3108, A3104, A3096, and A3092 differ from models for other regions
Let us discuss how the A3108, A3104, A3096, and A3092 differ from iPhone 15 models from other regions and nations.
No mmWave 5G
It is not possible to use mmWave 5G with the 15 Pro Max A3108, 15 Pro A3104, 15 Plus A3096, or 15 A3092 models. They only support the standard 5G and LTE bands.
The 5G mmWave is a feature that’s only present on the iPhone 15 Pro Max A2849, 15 Pro A2848, 15 Plus A2847, and 15 A2846 models for the U.S. and Puerto Rico.
Dual nanoSIM support
The China Mainland, Hong Kong, and Macao iPhone 15 Pro Max A3108, iPhone 15 Pro A3104, iPhone 15 Plus A3096, and iPhone 15 A3092 stand out with their distinctive dual nanoSIM card configuration.
Unlike its counterparts, this model boasts not one but two physical nanoSIM card slots, catering to users who require this feature.
However, this unique feature comes with trade-offs. The iPhone 15 Pro Max A3108, iPhone 15 Pro A3104, iPhone 15 Plus A3096, and iPhone 15 A3092 are the only models in the iPhone 15 Pro series that do not support eSIM usage.
No FaceTime Audio Calls on the China Mainland Model
Furthermore, it’s essential to note that FaceTime Audio calls are not available on the A3104’s China Mainland model.
This restriction is only for the China Mainland model and not the other two (Hong Kong and Macau models).
No Group FaceTime and FaceTime Audio
The same China Mainland versions of the iPhone 15 Pro Max A3108, iPhone 15 Pro A3104, iPhone 15 Plus A3096, and iPhone 15 A3092 also don’t support Group FaceTime and FaceTime Audio with cellular.
It’s worth highlighting that this restriction is unique to the China Mainland model and does not apply to the Hong Kong model or Macau model.
No emergency Satellite SOS
The absence of the satellite SOS capabilities is yet another feature that is entirely missing from the China, Hong Kong, and Macau iPhone models.
