Apple Inc. (AAPL) unveiled its plans to continue its rollout of its newest iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C devices into more than three dozen countries--including Russia, Italy and Spain--starting Oct. 25, following last month's launch of the smartphone.
The iPhone 5s and 5c will be available on Oct. 25 in Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, French West Indies, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Macau, Malta, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Reunion Island, Romania, Russia, Slovakia, Slovenia, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan and Thailand.
The iPhone 5s and 5c will also be available on Nov. 1 in Albania, Armenia, Bahrain, Colombia, El Salvador, Guam, Guatemala, India, Macedonia, Malaysia, Mexico, Moldova, Montenegro, Saudi Arabia, Turkey and United Arab Emirates.
The new flagship iPhone 5S includes a faster processor, a better camera and a new fingerprint scanner. A second, less expensive model called the iPhone 5C repackages much of the technology from last year's device in a new, colorful plastic case. The models went on sale on Sept. 20 in nine countries, including the U.S., Australia, Canada and China.
Apple sold nine million of its latest iPhones in their first three days in stores, a new company record. The company said last month its quarterly revenue and margins should be near the high end of its previous forecast.
Shares were up 3.7% to $484.65 in recent premarket trading. Through Tuesday's close, the stock is up 14% over the past three months.
