With introduction of two iPhones last year, Apple looked to gain ground in overseas markets like China. Now, hours after the announcement of its next round of phones, the folks in Cupertino are facing issues getting the new wares to parts of Asia. In fact, it has already told three of mainland China's largest phone companies that it won't be able to stock shelves with the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus on the September 19th launch day.The New York Times reports that the devices have yet to receive regulatory approval needed for the release, but Apple didn't give a specific reason for the hold up. Back in July, state-run Chinese Central Television expressed concerns that iOS location-tracking logs could be used to nab classified info, and were a threat to its national security -- a claim which Tim Cook and Co. were quick to reject.
