Looks 100% real.

The RMB 20k fine warning label tells you it's real.

Also looks like the rumors about a real-time launch is true. The embargo date shown will be lifted on September 13 (12 in Cupertino).

What does the warning say?

Apple new product. Do not unseal before 9/13 8:01.
Unsealing before date results in penalty of RMB 20k per unit.


Unlike in the U.S., Apple has a very different sales distribution system in China. They rely very much on juggernauts like JD.com, Tmall, PDD, etc. to sell products. As a result, those retailers get them early. We see kind of thing each year.
