Apple has officially launched the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max in global markets, including India. The launch has drawn significant attention, with customers lining up outside Apple Stores to get the latest models.
The Apple Store in Mumbai reportedly saw long queues from the previous night. Some customers are said to have waited for more than 12 hours to enter the store on launch day.
The long wait for the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max has also triggered discussions on social media. Several users have pointed out that the phones can also be ordered through quick delivery platforms in some locations.
Despite the availability of online and quick delivery options, some customers chose to visit Apple Stores in person. Their decision to wait for hours has become a topic of discussion online.
Meanwhile, several unverified stories about the latest iPhone models are also circulating on social media. One viral claim involves a man from Delhi who allegedly said he sold gold ornaments to buy an iPhone 18 Pro for his wife.
Such claims have added to the online discussion surrounding the iPhone 18 series launch. They should be treated as social media claims unless independently verified.
The most expensive iPhone 18 Pro models are reportedly priced above ₹4.5 lakh in India. The launch has therefore drawn attention not only to the new phones but also to the spending and buying trends surrounding premium smartphones.
