The company revealed today that the newest addition to its prized iPhone family will launch in more than 50 additional countries this month, starting December 7 and going through the 21st.

One week later on December 14, it will be welcomed in Albania, Antigua and Barbuda, Armenia, Bahamas, Bahrain, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, China, Costa Rica, Cyprus, Ecuador, Grenada, Indonesia, Israel, Jamaica, Jordan, Kuwait, Macedonia, Malaysia, Moldova, Montenegro, Panama, Paraguay, Philippines, Qatar, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Taiwan, Turkey, United Arab Emirates and Venezuela.

And lastly, the iPhone 5 will be available on Friday, December 21 in Barbados, Botswana, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Egypt, Guinea, Ivory Coast, Kenya, Madagascar, Mali, Mauritius, Morocco, Niger, Senegal, St. Kitts, St. Lucia, St. Vincent & the Grenadines, Tunisia, Uganda and Vietnam.

Individuals across the world are anticipating getting their hands on the thinnest and lightest iPhone ever, which boasts decreased power consumption, a completely redesigned appearance featuring a new four-inch Retina display and an Apple-designed A6 chip for extraordinarily fast performance and Wi-Fi.
