A day after Apple officially launched the long-awaited iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, Apple's India website announced the date of the latest versions of the smartphones being made available in the country.

While both handsets will be available in the US, Canada, the UK and six other countries from September 19, with their pre-booking starting from September 12, Indians will be able to buy the new iPhones from October 17. There is, however, no clarity about the prices for the Indian market.
