All right, I added the new plans. It turns out it's mostly a branding thing, as China Mobile in most other provinces is either offering the 4G plans under the existing EasyOwn or MZone names or also under the general heading of 4G (Guangdong also has a small pile of province-specific plans, but that would take a bit more work to read through and list out). The data feature packs have changed in most provinces to the new structure I added as well (there are still some province-specific oddities, such as Hebei province not offering any data add-ons past 20RMB for 150MB).

It also turns out that Shanghai still has MZone, but it's hard to find (not advertised) and the new MZone plans are significantly different from those in other provinces (only small-ish data allowances and free incoming instead of small talk/text/data allowances evenly spread).

Also, only Shanghai so far has gone the extra step of discontinuing all older plans, so only "new MZone" and the 4G plans remain. All other provinces still offer "standard" MZone and EasyOwn plans.

And on the topic of bands: There are 4 TDD-LTE bands used in China so far: 38, 39, 40, and 41. The iPhone 6 and 6+ (except for those purchased from providers in Canada, from AT&T/Verizon/T-Mobile in the US, and from most providers in Mexico and Latin America) has all of them. The ones purchased from those exceptions, have none of them and thus will not get China Mobile 4G. In most cases, though, phones sold outside China with TDD-LTE have all 4 bands because there are now even more providers outside of China starting to use TDD-LTE (for example, Airtel in India is now using TDD-LTE band 40).

I'll probably need more time to get to that.
