The Apple iPhone 6 and the iPhone 6 Plus was first released in ten countries like U.S., U.K., Australia and more last Sept 19. Last Sept 26, the duo smartphones from Apple were released in 22 more countries that included countries like New Zealand, Spain, Italy, Qatar, UAE and so on. However, it was unclear when the iPhone 6 and the iPhone 6 Plus would hit the Chinese market.

China is the largest smartphone market in the world. Hence, Apple started selling the iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C in China in 2013 on the launch date. This year, without releasing the iPhone 6 and the iPhone 6 Plus in China on the official release date of Sept 19, Apple managed to hit the record sales of selling 10 million handsets in the starting three days of release.

According to Reuters, China's regulating body has approved the sale of both iPhone 6 models in the country. The approval came from The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology after personal data security issue was tested on both iPhone 6 models.

Tech analysts feel that the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus will do amazing business in China as the Chinese consumers prefer to use handsets with larger displays. Compared to previous iPhone iterations, the iPhone 6 comes with a larger 4.7-inch display and the iPhone 6 Plus phablet features a 5.5-inch display.

PhoneArena claims that they had asked Chinese carriers to decrease subsidies on the iPhone 6. The regulatory body from China now permits a buyer to pay $131 as upfront payment for a two-year contract to avail the iPhone 6.

The iPhone 6 and the iPhone 6 Plus release date for Chinese audience have not been officially announced. GSMArena claims that speculations are rife that both the iPhone 6 handsets are going to release in China on Oct 10.

By the end of year, both the handsets are expected to be available in 115 countries. GSMArena claims that Apple can hit recording-shattering sales as the iPhone 6 and the iPhone 6 Plus phablet are going to hit the Chinese markets in the last quarter of the year which includes the year end vacation shopping season.
