The iPhone 4S will be available in Hong Kong and 14 additional countries on November 11, Apple announced Tuesday.
Apple’s fifth-gen smartphone will go on sale in Albania, Armenia, Bulgaria, El Salvador, Greece, Guatemala, Hong Kong, Malta, Montenegro, New Zealand, Panama, Poland, Portugal, Romania, and South Korea next week.
While the iPhone 4S looks the same as the iPhone 4 from the outside, Apple has completely revamped the phone’s innards to include a dual-core A5 processor, a souped-up 8-megapixel camera, Siri voice controls, and iOS 5.
The iPhone 4S is currently available in 29 countries. Apple added 22 countries to the original seven last week. Next week’s addition will bring the total number of countries that have the iPhone 4S to 42. Apple said the iPhone 4S will launch in 70 countries by the end of the year.
However, Apple has not mentioned when the phone will launch in mainland China, the fastest-growing market for the iPhone.
Apple’s latest smartphone went on sale in the U.S., the U.K., Canada, Australia, France, Germany, and Japan on October 11. In the first weekend, Apple sold more than four million units of the iPhone 4S. That’s more than double the 1.7 million iPhone 4’s Apple sold in the first three days the fourth-gen device was available in 2010, and well over the "more than a million" iPhones Apple sold in the opening weekend for the iPhone 3GS in 2009.
The iPhone 4S has certainly topped the initial four million by now, but Apple has not released any official numbers.
