The much anticipated iPhone 17 which happens to be the newest variant of the iPhone line got released today in India and there was absolutely mad rush for the same at the highest capacity. This situation has led to a frenzy at many retails outlets across the country.
According to several viral videos on social media, fights broke out between people outside the Apple retail stores.
A scuffle at the Apple Store in Mumbai's Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC) during the launch of the iPhone 17 series on September 19, 2025, showed mad crowds outside the venue as people fought to get their hands on the new iPhone series.
This event is part of a broader trend where the iPhone 17 series, launched on the same day, saw significant interest across India, with reports of overnight queues and high pre-booking numbers.
Despite the high starting price of ₹82,900 and discussions on affordability given India's average monthly salary of ₹25,000, the new iPhone has received significant rush from the Indian folk.
The incident underscores the cultural and economic dynamics of tech launches in India, where the desire for premium products like the iPhone often leads to public displays of wealth.
Meanwhile, while the country is suffering from unemployment and related bad parameters, this incident outside the Apple outlet has led to several implications of the prevailing situations.
