iPhone Available in 40 Additional Countries Beginning Friday,
October 9
Apple® today announced it has sold more than 13 million new
iPhone® 6s and iPhone 6s Plus models, a new record, just three days
after launch. iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus will be available in
more than 40 additional countries beginning October 9 including
Italy, Mexico, Russia, Spain and Taiwan. The new iPhones will be
available in over 130 countries by the end of the year.
“Sales for iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus have been phenomenal,
blowing past any previous first weekend sales results in Apple’s
history,” said Tim Cook, Apple’s CEO. “Customers’ feedback is
incredible and they are loving 3D Touch and Live Photos, and we
can’t wait to bring iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus to customers in
even more countries on October 9.”
iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus bring a powerful new dimension to
iPhone’s revolutionary Multi-Touch™ interface with 3D Touch, which
senses how deeply you press the display, letting you do essential
things more quickly and simply. The new iPhones introduce Live
Photos, which bring still images to life, transforming instants
frozen in time into unforgettable living memories. Live Photos, 3D
Touch, 12-megapixel iSight® camera, 5-megapixel FaceTime® HD camera
with Retina® Flash and more are powered by the Apple-designed A9
chip, the most advanced chip ever in a smartphone, delivering
faster performance and great battery life. iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s
Plus are designed with the strongest glass on any smartphone and
7000 series aluminum, the same alloy used in the aerospace
industry, in gorgeous metallic finishes that now include rose
gold.
iOS 9, the world’s most advanced mobile operating system, brings
more intelligence to iPhone with proactive assistance, powerful
search and improved Siri features, all while protecting users’
privacy. Built-in apps become more powerful with a redesigned Notes
app, detailed transit information in Maps*, and an all-new News app
for the best news reading experience on any mobile device. The
foundation of iOS is even stronger with software updates that
require less space to install and advanced security features to
further protect your devices.
Customers are encouraged to check the Apple Store® app or
Apple.com to receive updates on availability and estimated delivery
dates. Every customer who buys an iPhone 6s or iPhone 6s Plus at an
Apple Retail Store will be offered free Personal Setup service,
helping them customize their iPhone by setting up email, showing
them new apps from the App Store℠ and more, so they’ll be up and
running with their new iPhone before they leave the store.
Customers can also learn more about iOS 9 and their new device
through free workshops at all Apple retail stores worldwide. In the
US, the new iPhones are also available through AT&T, Sprint,
T-Mobile, Verizon Wireless and additional carriers, and select
