While iPhone 15 series pre-orders went live last Friday, today, September 22, finally saw the new phone go on sale globally. So, buyers can start purchasing their devices either online or at an Apple retail store. All four models, the iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro, and the iPhone 15 Pro Max, are available on sale. This is the first time that the availability of the standard model iPhone 15 and the iPhone 15 Plus has aligned with its global release in India. This has also resulted in Apple fans rushing to stand in long queues outside Apple Stores in order to get their hands on the new devices. This is a striking yearly global ritual of sorts that takes place every year when the latest iPhones hit the stores. The excitement is reflected in the fans' body language and faces and it is amazing to watch.

As per a report by Hindustan Times, Apple stores in BKC, Mumbai, and Saket, New Delhi, witnessed long queues of people waiting to buy the new iPhone 15 smartphones ahead of the stores' opening time. Some consumers even reported coming from faraway places like Ahmedabad and Bengaluru.

The first customer at the Apple Store at Select Citywalk Mall in New Delhi's Saket, Rahul, told ANI that he had been waiting in line for a long time. "I was in the queue since 4 AM and then purchased the phone. I have an iPhone 13 Pro Max and an iPhone 14 Pro Max. After the 15 series was announced, I wanted to get the iPhone 15 Pro Max - that too before everyone else”.

Another customer, Aan, came all the way from Ahmedabad. He said, “I flew in yesterday. I was here at the store since 6 AM...I was at the store opening a few months ago where I was fortunate enough to meet Tim Cook".
