Apple Inc. will sell the new iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus in China next month after agreeing to improve user security and privacy.

The devices will go on sale Oct. 17, the company said after China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology granted the smartphones a network access permit, the final step in the approval process. Pre-orders will start Oct. 10, and the phones will be available at all three state-run carriers, Apple said.
