[Himanshu Arora]

Apple has announced that both iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus will be available in 36 more countries, including key markets like India and China, by the end of the month, bringing the total number of countries where the newly launched smartphones will be available in to 69.

Starting October 17, the new iPhones will be available for sale in India, China, and Monaco, followed by Israel on October 23, and countries like Czech Republic, French West Indies, Greenland, Malta, Poland, Reunion Island, and South Africa, the very next day.

On October 30, the devices will go on sale in Bahrain and Kuwait, while consumers in Albania, Bosnia, Croatia, Estonia, Greece, Guam, Hungary, Iceland, Kosovo, Latvia, Lithuania, Macau, Macedonia, Mexico, Moldova, Montenegro, Serbia, South Korea, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Ukraine, and Thailand, will be able to purchase Apple's new smartphones on October 31.

Calling it "the fastest iPhone roll out ever", the Cupertino-based company said it is on track to offer the new iPhones in more than 115 countries by the end of the year.

The iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus first went on sale on September 19 in the US, Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Japan, Puerto Rico, Singapore, and the UK, followed by a second wave of launches on September 26. Apple said it sold more than 10 million iPhones over the opening weekend, breaking the previous record of nine million with the launch of last year’s iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c.

The news comes just a few days ahead of Apple's upcoming media event this week, at which the company is expected to unveil new iPads and Macs, as well as release its OS X Yosemite operating system.

This is amazing more markets! This means instead of 4 months my iPhone comes its now 4 years yay thanks Apple for being really intelligent in thinking increasing number of countries the phone is available in will increase the supply.

What next 10 iphones per country per week?

With stories around GT Advanced and others, Apple's bleeding edge starts to smell much like it, money and technologies welded on bones and blood of others.

I'm starting to feel sinister to consider buying from them again...

GT signed a contract, Apple didn't force anything. Others? Foxconn? Do you really think anyone else is doing any better with them that is competitive? Apple at least put the pressure on to improve conditions - maybe it was because of bad press but the point is Apple helped improve conditions when nobody else did. If you have others, I encourage you to research it and not get all jumpy about whatever you read on the web where people make money based on how many ad hits their pages get.

Go ahead and get on a high horse about Apple, but you are disillusioning yourself if you think you are not consuming from companies that are as bad or worse.

Everything about this is a click bait article, its pretty damn hard to roll out a product world wide that has to clear so many communications relations and other regulations. This is an Apple story and that is the ONLY reason it exists.
