While people have been lining up outside the Apple Store, Saket, since 4:00 AM today, Apple fans in Mumbai, have been lining up for longer. One dedicated Apple fan who hopes to be the first person to buy an iPhone told ANI that he has been in line since 3:00 PM, September 21, the day before the device would go on sale. Others have been standing in line for over 17 hours, outside Apple’s Mumbai flagship store. Interestingly, despite being priced astronomically high, Apple’s iPhone 15 Pro series is creating significant excitement within the tech community, which is reflected by record pre-booking. As per insights from analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, the recently launched iPhone 15 Pro Max is experiencing robust demand, surpassing the popularity of its predecessor, the iPhone 14 Pro Max from the previous year. Conversely, demand for the iPhone 15 Pro model appears to be somewhat subdued compared to its forerunner, leading Kuo to speculate that more customers are showing a preference for the iPhone 15 Pro Max this year. The most recent iPhone collection encompasses four distinct models: iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro, and iPhone 15 Pro Max. The most affordable among these four new phones, the iPhone 15, can be obtained in India at a starting price of ₹79,900 for the 128GB version, with the 256GB storage option priced at ₹89,900, and the 512GB storage variant available for ₹1,09,900. For those interested in the iPhone 15 Plus, it is priced at ₹89,900 for the 128GB version, ₹99,900 for the 256GB version, and ₹1,19,900 for the 512GB version. Moving up the scale, the higher-end iPhone 15 Pro models come with different pricing tiers: ₹1,34,900 for the 128GB storage variant, ₹1,44,900 for the 256GB variant, ₹1,64,900 for the 512GB variant, and ₹1,84,900 for the 1TB variant.
