The launch of the iPhone 18 Pro in India has sparked widespread reaction online as eager shoppers formed massive lines outside retail outlets to secure the new device on release day.
Despite reports of shoppers waiting in queues for as long as 12 hours, netizens quickly took to social media to mock the traditional frenzy. The contrast became a viral talking point after quick-commerce service Blinkit began offering delivery of the new handset in approximately 12 minutes.
The debate highlights the rapidly shifting retail landscape in India, where ultra-fast on-demand delivery platforms are increasingly competing directly with physical flagship store experiences for high-profile gadget launches.
