Apple's websites for various countries show that the new phones will be launched in at least 18 countries on September 26 and 27. UAE appears to be the only country set to get the new iPhone devices on September 27, with at least 17 other countries getting it a day before. These countries are Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Russia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan and Turkey.

During the launch of the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, Apple had announced that it would start shipping the new iPhone devices in 10 countries on September 19. These countries are the US, UK, Canada, France, Germany, Australia, Japan, Puerto Rico, Singapore and Hong Kong.
