Telecommunication service provider Ufone in partnership with Apple announced on Friday the launch of iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus in Pakistan.

The popular smartphones will be made available to consumers under the banner of the telecom service provider from Dec 11 this year.

Customers will be able to register online for iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus from Nov 28 at the company's website, a press statement said.

This is the first time that Apple has collaborated with a Pakistani telecommunication provider for the launch of its signature smartphone.

Apple is considered one of the biggest names in technology-related products and is widely believed to be the world’s second-largest information technology company.

Despite the phone’s official unavailability in the country, iPhone enjoys a large fan base in Pakistan, with many users already awaiting the entry of the new product.

iPhone 6 was first officially introduced two months ago in the United States.
