The second coming: Apple launches the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus in more markets

iPhone 6s

After selling more than 13 million iPhone 6s models in the first weekend following the September 25 launch, Apple today made the new devices available in more than 40 second-wave markets around the world.

We shared our impressions of Apple’s new toys after playing with them for three days, and also took a closer look at whether they might, in fact, be secretly waterproof. Despite the phones’ strong launch and record sales — thanks partly to bringing China forward into the first wave of launch markets this year — investors’ initial response was best summed up as a collective “Meh.”

Expect new pictures of loyal Apple fans queueing up outside stores in these second-wave markets to start making the rounds as the day comes and goes — we already compiled some of the best shots from the initial launch (also see here), in what has now become an “annual rite of commercial self-flagellation.” For our pros and cons on the iPhone 6s models, head here.

Here’s the full list of second-wave markets where the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus are available from today:
