Apple's iPhone 6 and 6 Plus first launched in select countries on September 19th. Less than a week later, Apple launched the two devices in 22 more countries, unfortunately China was still left in the dark.
Apple was unable to get the licenses needed for sale in China on time for the main launch, which was a big deal since the country is Apple's second largest market. Earlier this month, Apple received only one of the two licenses needed to sell the two models in China. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) in China are performing Apple's review, which will need both licenses to legally sell within the country.
A previous report from
Bloomberg stated that Apple wouldn't be able to get the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus on the market until early 2015, however a possible leak shared with
Techweb says different. The blog republished what looks to be a internal Apple retail employee memo, which claims that the two devices will go on sale October 10. Along with the possible release, the meme states that iPhone 6 "prototypes" will hit store shelves starting October 7, giving customers a preview of the two models.
