Apple's iPhone 15 series officially launched in India on September 22, drawing large crowds outside the Mumbai Apple store and Delhi's Select Citywalk Mall. This much-anticipated series, including the iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro, and iPhone 15 Pro Max, was unveiled during Apple's "Wonderlust" event on September 12, along with the Apple Watch Series 9 and Watch Ultra 2.
Rahul, the first customer in line at the Apple Store in Select Citywalk Mall, Saket, shared his enthusiasm, saying, "It was a great experience. I was in the queue since 4 am and then purchased the phone. I have always had top phones with me. 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."

Additionally, the camera system has been upgraded, featuring a 48-megapixel main camera sensor and improvements to portrait mode.
The iPhone 15 comes with a 6.1-inch screen, while the iPhone 15 Plus features a 6.7-inch screen, and both are available in pink, yellow, green, blue, and black. The iPhone 15 starts at USD 799 for a 128GB model, while the iPhone 15 Plus starts at USD 899 for a 128GB version.
