Apple starts selling the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus in 22 new markets

Apple’s iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus were officially launched on September 19, but only 10 markets received the handsets on that day. Well, now it’s time for the second wave of iPhone 6 launches. Customers in 22 new markets around the world can buy the new iPhones starting Friday, September 26 - a day that has already begun in some countries.

New Zealand was the first among the new markets to get the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. The handsets are more expensive there than in the US: prices for an unlocked iPhone 6 start at 999 NZD (about $792), and at 1,149 NZD ($911) for the iPhone 6 Plus. Speaking of which, the iPhone 6 Plus may be prone to accidental bending, but Apple states that the problem is extremely rare.

Anyway, here are the rest of the 21 markets where the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus will launch (or have already launched) on September 26, in alphabetical order: Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Ireland, Isle of Man, Italy, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Qatar, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, Turkey, and United Arab Emirates.
