UPDATE: iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus will be officially available in Malaysia on 6th November.
The iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus will be available in 36 more countries, covering larger markets such as China and India starting this Friday 17th October. This means there will be a total of 68 countries having the iPhone 6/iPhone 6 Plus officially by month end. While Apple claims that this is the fastest iPhone roll out ever, sadly Malaysia is being left out again.
The next wave of iPhone 6/iPhone 6 Plus are as follows:
17th October
China, India and Monaco23rd October
Israel24th October
Czech Republic, French West Indies, Greenland, Malta, Poland, Reunion Island and South Africa30th October

By 31st October, 51 days have passed since its official announcement and as comparison, the iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C took 50 days to arrive on our shores. While other smart phone manufacturers including the Chinese brands are making Malaysia as their key market, Apple seems to have a different point of view.
For those who can’t wait, there are plenty of grey importers offering the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus at lower prices. On Lazada, you can get the iPhone 6 Plus from as low as RM2,969 and they are giving additional 5% discount for MasterCard holders. If you’re interested, head over to their iPhone listing.
Looks like the folks at Samsung have one less thing to worry about as they roll out the Galaxy Note 4 this Friday.
