Apple has expanded sales of the iPhone 6 and its larger twin sibling, the iPhone 6 Plus, to more than 20 additional countries on Friday.

The iPhone 6 is now available in these countries:

Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Ireland, Isle of Man, Italy, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Qatar, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, Turkey and United Arab Emirates.

Apple told Mashable stores are seeing record queues in these countries. The new iPhone's initial launch last week drew massive crowds to Apple stores where the phone was available.

It's been a hectic time for Apple, coming off a record-breaking opening weekend -- when sales topped 10 million phones -- and a duo of controversies: #Bendgate and the botched launch of iOS 8's first software update.

Apple first launched the iPhone 6 in eight countries and hopes that number will grow to 115 countries by the end of the year.
