Apple\u2019s much-awaited iPhone 17 series has officially hit stores, and as expected, the excitement was unmissable. From long queues outside Apple outlets to buyers proudly flaunting their brand-new devices, the frenzy was in full swing.<\/p>\n
In cities like Mumbai, eager customers began lining up hours before the stores opened, with some even arriving at midnight to secure the latest iPhone. Among them was one buyer whose extravagant purchase quickly became the talk of the day.<\/p>\n
\u2018Waiting Since 12 Midnight\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\nAman Chouhan from Mumbai became the centre of attention after waiting nearly eight hours outside the BKC Apple Store to buy the newly launched iPhone 17 Pro Max. Reaching the store at midnight, he finally walked out with not one but two models, 256GB and 1TB, both in Apple\u2019s newly introduced Cosmic Orange shade.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was waiting in line since 12 midnight and now I have got it. It has new features. The orange colour is new, which is in demand,” Chouhan told ANI while smiling and proudly displaying his purchase.<\/p>\n
\u2018Bravest Chauhan After Prithviraj\u2019: Internet Roasts Mumbai Buyer<\/strong><\/p>\nAman\u2019s flashy purchase caught everyone\u2019s eye online, and soon the comments section was filled with playful and mostly sarcastic remarks.<\/p>\n
One user commented, \u201cOne small achievement for Aman, one giant leap for mankind.”<\/p>\n
Another added, \u201cWah kya achievement hai (Wow, what an achievement).”<\/p>\n
\u201cThe bravest Chauhan after Prithviraj Chauhan,” someone else remarked, while a person asked, \u201cCouldn\u2019t he wait till next week?”<\/p>\n
\u201cWaited all night just to flex an orange iPhone. Bro acting like Tim Cook personally ended poverty with this launch. It\u2019s a phone, not the Kohinoor diamond. Apple doesn\u2019t even know these people exist, but they worship like a shareholder without dividends,” a viewer wrote.<\/p>\n
An individual jokingly said, \u201cThe Tax Department should award him for contributing and paying a substantial amount of tax after waiting since midnight. This is less of a phone, more of a tax product.”<\/p>\n
\u201cNothing says \u2018life goals\u2019 like waiting in line since midnight for a phone that has a new orange colour. Forget the world\u2019s problems, who needs sleep, food, or actual priorities when you can flex a 1TB iPhone. Truly, this is how you define success in life!” read another sarcastic remark.<\/p>\n
Why Such Craze? Grok Explains<\/strong><\/p>\nIn the middle of these reactions, one user asked chatbot Grok, \u201cWhy the craze of iPhones in India is still on top?”<\/p>\n
Grok\u2019s reply gave a snapshot of the bigger picture. According to it, \u201cThe iPhone craze in India persists due to its status as an aspirational brand, symbolising success amid a growing middle class.”<\/p>\n
\u201cStrong demand for iPhone 17 shows via record pre-orders and queues, driven by EMI options (every 4th sale on EMI), premium features, and local manufacturing boosting availability. Sales hit 3M units last quarter, fueled by metro buyers and festive promotions,” the chatbot added.<\/p>\n
