The excitement in Delhi’s Saket district, where one of the major Apple Stores is located, highlighted just how significant this launch has become for the brand in India. Video clips shared by ANI showed groups of people waiting on chairs, chatting, and patiently counting down the hours until the store opened. It was a scene that, in some ways, felt reminiscent of Apple’s launches in the United States and other global markets.
Apple’s direct retail push in India has clearly played a role in building this atmosphere. Since opening its first stores in Mumbai and Delhi back in 2023, the company has created a stronger link with local customers who now prefer walking into a store, trying the product firsthand, and walking out with it on day one. The fact that India received the iPhone 17 series simultaneously with other major markets only underscores the country’s growing importance for the California-based company.
