After the new Apple smartphones were launched, a lot of consumers and fans are already waiting for the iPhone 6 release date. 

The biggest smartphone market today, China, has already offered the new iPhones on pre-orders through China Mobile and in a report by GSM Arena, sign-ups have already reached 4 million, and that is just within 24 hours after the pre-orders began. 

Unfortunately, those 4 million subscribers, and millions more waiting for the new iPhone 6 may be waiting for a longer time. 

In the report, some unnamed sources claim that Apple has not yet acquired certification from the Chinese government to sell its new iPhones. 

In the report, the Cupertino manufacturer has not yet reached an agreement with the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of China for it to begin selling the new iPhones. 

This means that both the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus could be available in the huge Asian market as late as next year. If this would be the case, then expect Apple's sales to drop significantly for the holiday season. 

Fortunately, the rumor is still not confirmed so there is still hope that the new iPhones would make their way to China through China Mobile in the weeks to come. 

The new Apple iPhone 6 and 6 Plus are the biggest iPhones and history, and each boast a more rounded design which is reminiscent to the iPod Touch. On board the two smartphones is a new A8 chipset, 2GB of RAM, and the new iOS 8 version.

While the manufacturer retained the 8MP rear camera, it included a new technology that would reportedly improve the quality of taken shots and videos. 

Currently, China Mobile is the world's biggest carrier, with subscribers of over 700 million.
