Asia pre-order dates, prices for the iPhone X, iPhone 8, and Apple Watch Series 3

If you’ve been up for more than five minutes today, you’ve probably already been bombarded by reporting on Apple’s latest mobile products: its yearly iPhone upgrade (the iPhone 8), a more advanced and more expensive phone (the iPhone X), and a new version of its industry-leading smartwatch (the Apple Watch Series 3). So let’s get to the important question: when will these be available in your neck of the woods?

Apple actually didn’t announce many specifics during its event this time around, but thankfully most of the details are on its website. Most websites don’t specific ship dates, but if the pre-order date is the same as the US, it’s safe to assume the shipping dates will be similar as well.

None of the new products are listed yet on Apple’s Indonesia site, but here’s what we found for many other countries.
