Hi xiaofan, or anyone,
Can help me do a latency ping to AJS gateway (from Singapore) whenever you have VPNed in? I've read through pages of these thread.
My family watches iqiyi/qq/tencent/chinese apps videos 1080p regularly on a dedicated iOS mobile, and I'm intending to tunnel full traffic of this device through any L3 vpn into CN.
lastly, some of these apps releases slower on android than iOS for 2021 dramas, if we use CN vpn, will we encounter such issues?
For AJS, good servers will have ping value shown as between 60ms to 100ms from the app. Most of the good servers are using China Mobile. But there are good servers using China Telecom and China Unicom.
SpeedTest Results also show that the ping value is about there. You can see the speed is not great but about there for 1080p.

Without AJS VPN it is much faster but ping value is actually slightly higher.
As for the contents release, no idea about what you say about iOS vs Android. They should be the same but I only use Android and do not use iOS for now.
Normally I will try without VPN first for my QQ Music, Tencent Video and Youku VIP subscription. Then I will only use AJS of the contents which are really blocked.
iQiyi may block the contents more strictly. But I do not have iQiyi VIP and I do not use it.
BTW, I believe there is no iQiyi China version of app for iOS in Singapore, only international version. The contents will be less. International version of Tencent Video is called WeTV. Both international version will have less contents in general yet the VIP subscription are much more expensive -- good thing is that you do not need China VPN like AJS or Transocks.
