The much-anticipated iPhone 16 series finally hit shelves in India today, and Apple enthusiasts wasted no time in making their eagerness known. Massive queues formed outside the Apple BKC and Apple Saket stores, with dedicated fans waiting for up to 21 hours in queue to be among the first to get their hands on the new devices.
Eager Crowds Gather at Apple Stores
The scenes at Apple’s official stores, both in Mumbai and New Delhi, were reminiscent of the frenzy surrounding the opening of the first Apple Store in India last year. Reports suggest the iPhone 16 Pro models, especially in the new “Desert Titanium” color, have been particularly popular with buyers.
Apple BKC: A 21-Hour Wait
At Apple BKC, Ujjwal Shah, one dedicated customer, shared with ANI, “I have been standing in the queue for the last 21 hours. I have been here since 11 AM yesterday and I will be the first one to enter the store today at 8 AM.” His experience highlights the level of excitement and anticipation for the latest iPhone release.
Apple Saket: Queues Extend Beyond the Mall
The enthusiasm wasn’t confined to Mumbai; Apple Saket in New Delhi also saw large lines snaking outside the Select City Walk Mall. Many customers echoed the sentiment that the Pro models are a major draw, reinforcing a trend in the Indian market.
The impressive turnout and long queues across both Apple stores underscore the iPhone 16 craze gripping India. As the day progresses, it remains to be seen just how quickly the new models, particularly those coveted Pro versions in Desert Titanium, will fly off the shelves.
The fervor surrounding the iPhone 16 launch serves as a powerful testament to Apple’s enduring appeal in India. The dedication of fans willing to wait in line for over 20 hours speaks volumes about the brand’s ability to generate excitement. As the iPhone 16 series makes its way into the hands of eager customers across the country, it’s clear that the ‘Apple craze’ in India shows no signs of slowing down.
