The rush was equally visible in New Delhi, where people waited outside the Select Citywalk Mall Apple store in Saket, with some reportedly camping overnight to secure their new devices.

Earlier this month, Apple launched the all-new iPhone 17 series with next-gen features and latest chips, including iPhone Air, touted as the thinnest iPhone ever made, with pro-level performance.

Pre-orders started from September 12 and the phones officially hit the shelves at flagship stores on Friday.

While iPhone 17 (256 GB) starts at Rs 82,900, iPhone Air (256 GB) begins from Rs 119,900; iPhone 17 Pro (256 GB) starts from Rs 134,900 and iPhone 17 Pro Max (256 GB) from Rs 149,900.

iPhone 17 features the new Center Stage front camera that takes selfies to the next level; a powerful 48MP Fusion Main camera with an optical-quality 2x Telephoto; and a new 48MP Fusion Ultra Wide camera that captures expansive scenes and macro photography in more detail, according to the company.

Meanwhile, iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max come with a striking new design that delivers a dramatic leap in performance. Both models feature A19 Pro, the most powerful and efficient chip for iPhone yet, enabling the advanced camera systems, next-level mobile gaming, and Apple Intelligence.
