Hello guys from Apple,
Recently, I want to purchase an iPhone SE, but I found the Chinese characters on iPhone look quite different from them on Lumia Mobile Phones. I love the 正體中文, so how can I turn the written style into it? Or does it provide some a font similar with PMingliu/Mingliu to choose alongside the default font？ I am expecting your reply, so million thanks in advance!
iPhone SE, iOS 9.3.1
I Don't think there is any way to change the default font in iOS. Make sure that Chinese is hiigher than Japanese in the language settings to avoid having a Japanese font used by mistake sometimes.
Well, I think I made a mistake. Hours ago, I paid visit to Apple Shop again, and have a second try on it, I found two different kinds of Traditional Chinese, Traditional Chinese (Hong Kong) and Traditional Chinese (Taiwan), and the latter is what I want. So I change the language to it, I got what exactly I need. I would have never believed that Apple supports Traditional Chinese at this amazing level...

Very interesting! Did that change the font used by the iPhone user interface? Can you explain the difference between the fonts used by the two settings?
Right now, I do not have any iOS device with me, but you could pay attention to the face of Chinese character, 體, in both settings, you could find the differences obviously! Thank you for your reply!

Thanks! I see now that Apple's new Chinese system font, Pingfang, has an HK version in addition to the usual TC and SC.
I love the second type, when I bought MacBook Air Early 2014, I have to install Microsoft Office 2011 to use that type of characters. But what such an amazing change that I found recently. For years, I stick to OS X 10.9, and now I think it is time to upgrade it to the latest version of OS X. I am accustomed with Microsoft products, such as Surface and Lumia. But I love things which are little and smart, easy to take and easy to use. iPhone SE is just that kind of one, I would buy it some another day! So million thanks for your help.
COuld you provide a few other examples of characters where the HK and Taiwan versions differ? I want to explore that further....
