Apple’s iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro series are now officially on sale. You can buy the latest iPhones from your nearest Apple store or authorized retailer.
Customers who managed to get their iPhone 15 preorder early have also started receiving their units. The Apple Watch Series 9 and Ultra 2 are launching today as well.
Long lines form outside Apple Stores
If you missed preordering the iPhone 15 a week ago, line up outside your nearest Apple Store today for a unit. Demand for the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max are high this year, overwhelming Apple. So, you may not get the desired model. Besides the Apple Store, you can try out local Apple-authorized retailers as there might be less rush.
It’s been over 15 years since the original iPhone went on sale. Despite that, long lines still form outside of Apple Stores when a new iPhone launches. This time around, the craze in India seems exceptionally high, especially since Apple has opened its retail stores there.
There is a huge line already at Apple BKC!
This is NOT pre-order line, people are here to grab the iPhone ASAP I guess.. (You know for what ????)
They are letting 5 people go at a time for a line just outside the store.. pic.twitter.com/moj3lVSsZO— Dhananjay_Tech (@Dhananjay_Tech) September 22, 2023
One of the first people to get into Apple Store, BKC in Mumbai to pickup & experience the iPhone 15 Series.

Apple also shared launch day pictures from its store in Sydney, Australia, where the new iPhones and Apple Watch were the first to go on sale.
New Apple Watch and AirPods with USB-C are now on sale, too
Alongside the iPhone 15 series, the Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2 also launch today. The watches are not in high demand, so you should easily get your desired model. Or if you preordered the watch, expect it to be delivered by the end of the day. And if you want to dump Lightning for good, the 2nd gen AirPods Pro with USB-C charging case is also available for purchase now.
The Cupertino giant is not selling the USB-C case separately. So, you can’t do much if you already have the AirPods Pro 2 with Lightning case.
