Long Queues at Delhi and Mumbai Apple Stores as iPhone 16 Series Goes on Sale in India
New Delhi: Apple Stores in Delhi and Mumbai saw long queues as iPhone 16 series, which was introduced at Apple’s Glowtime event on September 9, went on sale in India today.
In one video shared by news agency ANI, the line of customers at Select City Walk, Saket, the queue of customers extended across the entire mall floor. Over 37 million iPhone models were available for the pre-sale before the iPhone 16 series went on sale from the stores on September 20.
Apple launched the iPhone 16 lineup in about 60 countries including the US, China, Australia, and South Korea. The lineup includes four models – the standard iPhone 16 and 16 Plus, along with the high-end iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max.
For the first time, Apple will assemble the iPhone Pro Series in India but these models will be available for sale later.
Thanks to a cut in the import duty introduced in the recent budget, the iPhone Pro series will be available at a lower price than the previous version.
iPhone 16 Pro starts at Rs 1,19,900 and iPhone 16 Pro Max starts at Rs 1,44,900, the Hindustan Times said, citing a statement from Apple.
iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max were launched at starting price of Rs 1,34,900 and Rs 1,59,900 about a year ago.
