Apple’s new iPhone 6 Plus and iPhone 6 will go on sale in the U.S., Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore and the UK on September 19, with pre-orders starting earlier today.
At the special event on September 9th, Apple also announced that the new iPhones will be available in 115 countries by the end of the year.
We’ve been getting a lot of queries from our International readers asking us when iPhone 6, and iPhone 6 Plus will be available in their country. The good news is that Apple has updated its website in some countries to confirm when the new iPhones will be available.
So we’ve collated this table with the pre-order and release date in various countries.

* = Apple had initially announced that it will be releasing the new iPhones in India on September 26. It then delayed the launch to October 17th. Apple has however removed the launch date from its website, so we’re not sure if Apple will launch it on October 17th.
We expect the new iPhones to be available for pre-order on September 19th in countries where they go on sale on September 26th. We’ll update the table when we get a confirmation.
Please note that if your country is not in the list, then it is very likely that Apple hasn’t announced the launch date yet. In case Apple has announced the launch date for iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, then please let us know so we can update the table for the benefit of other readers.
