Long lines were seen outside stores in Apple stores in India as the sale of the newly launched iPhone series begins. For now, the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max are being sold.
The latest Pro models are available through Apple’s online store and six retail outlets across the country. The phones feature a 48MP Fusion Main camera with variable aperture and new Pro camera controls. They are powered by Apple’s A20 Pro chip and a new vapour chamber aimed at improving performance, AI features, and battery life. I’m really excited. Finally, the first phone is in my hands… “I’ve been here since around five o’clock in the morning. There was a long queue. People from Haryana, Delhi, and Mumbai are here just to buy the iPhone. I’ve been purchasing iPhones for a very long time. I’m expecting a phone. But it’s like a festival for me. iPhone launch is like a festival. The price marks an increase for Apple’s latest Pro models. The watches offer heart rate sensing, more frequent heart rate and HRV readings and a new readiness score. About iPhone Duo Apple’s biggest new addition is the iPhone Duo , the company’s first foldable iPhone. It will be available in 256GB, 512GB, 1TB and 2TB storage variants and comes in two colour options: Star White and Night Sky.
The iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max come in black, silver, glacier, and a new burgundy finish. I was trying to get the first one; I’d been waiting here for about 10 to 12 hours for this. I remember my first iPhone was an iPhone 7. In Noida, a buyer came from there, said he had been waiting in the queue since 6 am and managed to get the first iPhone 18 Pro Max. “…I was using the iPhone 13 before, so it is worth the upgrade. There are a lot of features, and I am feeling good about it, as I could collect it in only 5 minutes,” he said.
