iPhones purchased in mainland China (with model number ending in CH/A) do provide options for setting per-app Internet access permissions. There are three options [0]: Off, WLAN only, WLAN and Cellular.

Crazy. So they're explicitly selling crippled devices to most of the world.
What? Why is this Chinese market only? This is exactly what I wanted. There are Apps I simply don't want them to touch internet.
Its Chinese market only because of regulation. China mandates it. Don't implement it = you don't get to sell in China.
If Apple wanted to provide this willingly they would. That its only available in China due to government regulation tells you all you need to know.
i got an old EU market redmi (yes im broke) and you can turn off either wifi or cellular or both for any non system app. remember apple had to put in work to actively block the feature outside of china.
