It looks like construction is underway in Belgium for the country's first Apple Store, which could open as early as September 19, less than two weeks after the planned launch of the new iPhones and updated Apple TV. Gulden-Vlieslaan, where the construction is taking place, is one of Brussels' prominent locations. Apple has not officially confirmed the first Belgian store, but most of its Apple Stores will be officially announced in the week of their opening. Although the timing would be suitable for the sale of the latest iPhones, Belgium has never been among the countries that were in the first wave of sales of the Californian company's new products. The iPhone 6S will go on sale in the first wave of countries on September 18, according to German telecom providers.

According to the experiment Unbox Therapy the new iPhones should be able to withstand a pressure of over 30 kilograms, while the current models can withstand only around 13 kilograms. The report also suggests the presence of an anodized micro-layer of aluminum oxide, which should both prevent corrosion and, thanks to it, Apple could easily introduce dyes on the cover for different color variants.
