Apple iPhone 6s queue in Taiwan |
Italy, Ireland, Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, and many more countries are seeing the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus launch get released in the Apple Stores of their respective location today.
It's Andorra, Austria, Belgium, Bosnia, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Greece, Greenland, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Isle of Man, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Maldives, Mexico, Monaco, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and Taiwan that are all getting the goods today, with a few others to follow either tomorrow (Bahrain, Jordan, Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates), or on October 16th (India, Malaysia and Turkey), and, ultimately, to 130+ countries by year's end.
The second wave of availability rollouts brings with it some interesting price comparisons to be had. The stark difference in pricing is largely due to sales and import taxes, as well as exchange rate considerations, rather than price gouging by Apple, but it's still pretty dramatic to witness. Unfortunately, the new iPhones are still not for sale in Brasil, which is notorious for the most expensive Apple gear, but that omission will soon be remedied, too, and, from the looks of it, India and Russia won't be far behind in abominable pricing, when converted to USD. In fact, it's India, Russia and Norway taking the top three places from the ones we converted, with a $900+ starting price for a 16 GB iPhone 6s.
