iPhone 6 to launch in Thailand and South Korea at end of October

Apple today confirmed a raft of new release dates for the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus around the world. Only a few of those countries named – over 30 of them – are in Asia.

The two newest iPhones land in Thailand, South Korea, and Macau on Friday, October 31. It’s likely that online pre-orders will begin a week before the official launch.

Before all that happens, Apple is preparing for this week’s launches in the world’s two most populous nations, India and China.
