More than just a smartphone, the iPhone has become the ultimate status symbol, and the buzz is at an all-time high as the much-anticipated sale of Apple’s iPhone 16 series kicked off today. Early this morning, hundreds of eager buyers were found queuing outside Apple BKC in Mumbai, all ready to snag the latest models. A similar frenzied sight was caught at Apple Saket in Delhi, but Mumbai's excitement was a tad level higher!

At the Apple BKC store, a massive crowd gathered, with some die-hard fans reportedly camping out since the previous evening to secure their front spots. As the doors swung open, the sale commenced with Apple’s traditional countdown. The video of the same went viral on social media.

People in Mumbai were spotted running towards the Apple Store, eager to be among the first to get their hands on the brand new phone.

The iPhone 16 series includes four models: iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro, and iPhone 16 Pro Max. The iPhone 16 series is now available for purchase across India, including Apple’s official online store, Apple retail locations, and authorised resellers. Fans who couldn’t make it to the stores today can still purchase the new iPhones online or through other outlets.
