Apple’s second wave of iPhone 6 sales starts Sept. 26 for long list of countries

iPhone-6-Italy

When Apple announced its new iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus models earlier this week, it only provided preorder and shipping info for a handful of initially launch countries. The company has now confirmed a second wave of iPhone 6 launches for a long list of countries will kick off on September 26.

Many of Apple’s websites abroad are now listing the September 26 order date. Here’s 20+ countries we’ve found so far:

Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Ireland, Isle of Man, Italy, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Qatar, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, Turkey and United Arab Emirates.

Additionally, Apple’s site for the United Arab Emirates lists a date of September 27. While Apple is accepting orders in these countries starting September 26, some carriers are accepting preorders before that date. It’s unclear when exactly devices will ship in these countries. 

Apple announced during its iPhone launch event earlier this week that it planned one of the fastest new iPhone rollouts ever with 115 countries expected to get the device by year’s end. It also announced preorders for customers in the US, France, Canada, Germany, Hong Kong, Singapore, United Kingdom, Australia, and Japan would start this Friday, Sept. 12 with the devices shipping on September 19.

We’ll continue to update the list as we find more. Let us know in the comments below if Apple’s website in your country is listing a launch date.

    Belgium also

    • cmac0801 - 10 years ago

      Yeah excited! Already on the list at a certified retailer but they draw random names so i’ll try to order ASAP online and if they call from the store I just tell them they can call the next person.

  3. rob nienburg (@robogobo) - 10 years ago

    I’m in Switzerland and got notice today from my carrier that they’ll start taking orders on the 19th.

  4. Luis Canato - 10 years ago

    Portugal – 26/09 too

  5. Ángel Domínguez - 10 years ago

    Not preorders, but direct purchase on Sept 26 (and for online purchase as well). For instance, the Apple website for Spain listed “For sale starting September 26” since the day of the announcement.

  6. Hemmik (@Hemmik) - 10 years ago

    Moreover, it will be available in the Apple store starting the 26th of September in the Netherlands http://www.apple.com/nl/retail/

  7. Gijs Coolen - 10 years ago

    The dutch online Apple store doesn’t say pre order. Just that you can order on september 26

  8. Majed Ho - 10 years ago

    saudi arabia is in the list :)

  9. 26 is not a pre-order date, iPhones start to sale that date actually, at lest in Russia.

  10. Maimona Alsharief - 10 years ago

    The Saudi Telecom Company STC is going to launch iphone 6 and 6 Plus in Saudi Arabia on Sep 26.

  11. mahmudf2014 - 10 years ago

    On Turkish Apple Online Store and Apple Store page it says ” Order your device beginning from September 26″ for iPhone 6 and 6 Plus. Not pre order.

  12. Stephen Archbold - 10 years ago

    I’m from Ireland and yes the Apple website states orders on Sep 26th ( no shipping date ) but the Mobile Phone shops state that they are selling the new iphone on that date too ( With stock in hand ) . So it means you’d be quicker going to a shop and getting one over ordering from the Apple Website which will take a few days to deliver…

  13. mahmudf2014 - 10 years ago

    In Turkey, they will start to sell new iPhone 6’s beginning from 8.00AM on September 26 via Apple Retail Store (which is the Apple’s only store in the country: Zorlu Center by the way)

    • Stephen Archbold - 10 years ago

      Where did the 8am time from – I have asked for a time but none was given. I want to be ready to buy online :)

      • mahmudf2014 - 10 years ago

        From Apple’s Turkish Retail website. On Apple Store Zorlu Center’s webpage it says “Come and get your iPhone 6 on September 26 beginning 8.00a.m.” (apple.com/tr/retail/zorlucenter)

  14. David Sahernik - 10 years ago

    When is slovenia in?

  15. Shadi Kabbesh (@iShadi) - 10 years ago

    Add UAE to the list. September 27th.

  16. Why Mexico is not on this list… so unfair… I want to buy it so badly but… WHEN?

  17. daving313 - 10 years ago

    Any indication when unlocked devices will go on-sale? (SIM-free)

    • Bruno Fernandes (@Linkb8) - 10 years ago

      Same day in countries that typically have unlocked devices I’m assuming. If they have them at the Apple store here in Canada I can’t imagine not having them unlocked.

      • daving313 - 10 years ago

        Yea – in the US website you can only look at options for the big 4 carriers – no option for SIM-free. For example, if you look at the iPhone 5S – they have specifically called out the SIM-free model.

      • Sanjay (@sanjaymamin) - 10 years ago

        In US there is an option for Unlocked. Look for T-Mobile Contract Free, that GSM Unlocked. It costs $649 for 16GB, $749 for 64GB.

    • Elias Sørensen - 10 years ago

      All iPhones are unlocked in Denmark. Even if you buy them on a subscription.

  18. Carlos Estrada - 10 years ago

    When Mexico? :(

  19. Elias Sørensen - 10 years ago

    Yep.. My wallet is ready!

  20. Manuel (@ItzzManuel) - 10 years ago

    German support says, that you can preorder at 0 o´clock german time.

  21. Taste_of_Apple - 10 years ago

    Not too bad.

  22. india ? they said 26 sept then 17 october on apple website. now date is been removed

  23. Simon Collins - 10 years ago

    New Zealand is another one

  24. Sprdnja (@sprdnjabre) - 10 years ago

    Monenegro isn’t in the list. No one knows the preorder nor launch date.

  25. tigerpork - 10 years ago

    No North Korea 😔

  26. lewhowell - 10 years ago

    when South Africa?

  27. wanted to know about saudi arabia idk when it will come here

  28. taoprophet420 - 10 years ago

    The most notable name on that list is Russia. They usually don’t receive iPhones until the 4th wave or 3rd wave at the earliest. Apple must finally be trying to penetrate the market there. Apple really needs to have financing or installment plans there and other parts of eastern Europe. $740 to $850 is a lot to pay upfront.

  29. abooty94 - 10 years ago

    In most of the Arab gulf countries (Saudi Arabaia, United Arab Emirates, others..), the phone carriers are saying that the phones will be available starting from the 26th of September. That is a first for the region by the way, because the iPhone is usually there by mid-November.

  30. Eduardo Penha - 10 years ago

    And again… Apple forgot Brazil.

  31. Cun Con - 10 years ago

    Chinese people got screwed on this since their BS government hasn’t approved the new phone yet. Well, there will be an epic smuggling from Hong Kong with mark-ups and bribery at the Hong Kong/China border.

  32. Samee Azmi - 10 years ago

    In India it is supposed to be launched on 17th October.

  33. When Hungary? :(

  34. What about Mexico??!

  35. Charles Stanley - 10 years ago

    Beta Stall .com has pre orders for both models,

  36. Metro Square - 10 years ago

    Waiting for Thailand.

  37. Yazeed Almuhaideb - 10 years ago

    Beside Emirates, the new iPhones are coming to Saudi Arabia by 27th this month as all the carriers announced. (Since that there are no Apple Stores there yet)

  38. Miguel Salema (@mSaLeMa) - 10 years ago

    no launch date in Mexico. Weird….

    • frikova - 10 years ago

      Why is that weird? it happens almost every year.
