Besides launching SIM-free variants of the iPhone 6S and the iPhone 6S Plus in the U.S., Apple also announced it will be launching the new phones in 40 new countries this week.
Most new markets will be getting the new iPhones Friday, Oct. 9. Here’s the list, coming from an Apple spokesperson: 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.
Furthermore, Bahrain, Jordan, Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates will be getting the iPhone 6S and the iPhone 6S plus on Saturday, Oct. 10.
Finally, the new iPhones will also be available in 24 additional countries and territories beginning Oct. 16 including India, Malaysia and Turkey. All in all, Apple should be selling the iPhone 6S in over 130 countries by the end of the year.
By our count, this is the fastest international rollout of the iPhone ever. The iPhone 6S will be available in 76 markets three weeks after it was released on Sept. 25. It took well over a monthfor the iPhone 6 to reach that many markets.
