These 36 new locations are added to the existing countries where the iPhone 6 family is already on sale, giving Apple a grand total of 69 leading into November. It plans to bring that figure up to 115 before the end of 2014.

However, Apple fans ready to splash out on a new iPhone may want to keep some money back. On October 16, the company will be holding another special event. Although what it will announce is still a secret, we’re expecting new iPad tablets, Mac computers, and news on the OS X Yosemite operating system.
