Mumbai, September 2024: The much-anticipated Apple iPhone 16 series has officially hit Indian markets, creating a buzz at flagship stores in Mumbai and Delhi. As eager customers lined up outside the Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC) store in Mumbai and the Apple Saket store in Delhi, one resourceful buyer decided to skip the long wait and ordered the iPhone 16 online, receiving it within minutes—right outside the store.
The viral moment, shared on X (formerly Twitter) by user Swapnil Sinha, highlighted the rising influence of quick-commerce platforms in India. Platforms like Blinkit, Zepto, BigBasket, and Flipkart Minutes have now made it possible for customers to order the latest iPhone 16 models and have them delivered in minutes, eliminating the need for long store queues.
The launch of the iPhone 16 series, including the iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro, and iPhone 16 Pro Max, has drawn large crowds across India, with many customers traveling long distances to purchase the newest models from Apple’s stores. The iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max, boasting 6.3-inch and 6.9-inch displays respectively, have been the top picks among buyers.
Adding to the excitement is Apple’s trade-in program, which allows customers to exchange older iPhones for significant discounts on the iPhone 16. Depending on the model and condition of the traded-in device, users can save up to ₹37,900.
With the new models featuring innovations like a larger ultra-wide camera, an Action Button for quick tasks, and Apple’s upcoming Intelligence AI, the iPhone 16 series is set to dominate the Indian smartphone market. Sales for the iPhone 16 have already surged by 25% compared to previous launches, cementing Apple’s influence in India’s premium phone segment.
