Apple is bringing the iPhone to 51 additional countries, leveraging built-in compatibility with a wider range of wireless standards in the new iPhone 5s and 5c. USA Today reports that the phones will go on sale in 35 new territories including Austria and the French West Indies on October 25, then launch into an additional 16 markets including India and the Middle East on November 1.
The new iPhone 5s and 5c are compatible with various wireless signal types, meaning Apple can roll out the devices in new territories without any hardware modifications. This enabled the company’s first simultaneous launch in China when it introduced the new iPhones in its usual markets in North America, Europe and Asia.
