Having landed in the UK last week, Apple has today launched the iPhone 6 in a further 22 countries.
With just 10 nations having been handed Apple’s latest handset on day one, the Cupertino-based company has now expanded the availability of both the 4.7-inch iPhone 6 and larger, 5.5-inch iPhone 6 Plus.
The second tier nations now offered the Samsung Galaxy S5 and HTC One M8 rivals include New Zealand, Spain, Italy and United Arab Emirates.
With a total of 32 countries set to offer the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus by the end of the day, Apple has confirmed the new phones will be offered across 115 territories before the year is out.
Although Apple recently confirmed iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus sales exceeded the 10 million unit milestone during the first three days of availability, concerns over bending devices have marred the phones’ opening week.
According to some disgruntled owners, the iPhone 6 Plus has been bending and becoming misshapen while being carried in trouser pockets.
Both the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus are available in three colour schemes – silver, gold and Space Grey – and three storage options – 16GB, 64GB and 128GB.
The other countries offering the iPhone 6 today – in alphabetical order – are: Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Ireland, Isle of Man, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Qatar, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan and Turkey.
The countries to offer the iPhone 6 range on day one alongside the UK and US were: Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Japan, Puerto Rico and Singapore.
