iPhone 16 series launch draws large crowds in Delhi, Mumbai
New Delhi: The iPhone 16 series went on sale in India today, and hundreds of Apple enthusiasts waited in line outside the company's flagship stores in Delhi and Mumbai this morning to get their hands on one. At Apple's Glowtime event earlier this month, the Apple iPhone 16 series was introduced.
Large crowds flocked to the Apple stores this morning in Saket, Delhi, and BKC, Mumbai, demonstrating the continued frenzy that a new Apple iPhone can spark. In both places, lines of people were observed waiting to purchase the new iPhone model.
In a video released by the news agency ANI, shoppers at Select City Walk, Saket, the mall that is home to the Apple store, could be seen waiting in line the whole length of the mall. There was also a sizable gathering at the Apple store in BKC Mumbai.Prior to the iPhone 16 series going on sale on September 20, more than 37 million iPhone models were booked during the pre-sale.
For the first time, the company is offering the iPhone Pro series at a lower price than the previous version, primarily due to the import duty reduction in the recent budget.”The iPhone 16 Pro starts at ₹1,19,900, and the iPhone 16 Pro Max starts at ₹1,44,900," the company announced in a statement. In comparison, the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max were launched at starting prices of ₹1,34,900 and ₹1,59,900 a year ago.
In nearly 60 countries today, including the US, China, Australia, and South Korea, Apple unveiled the iPhone 16 series. There are four models in the lineup: the entry-level iPhone 16 and 16 Plus, the flagship iPhone 16 Pro, and the high-end iPhone 16 Pro Max.
According to the source, the business intends to assemble the iPhone Pro Series in India for the first time, but the models will go on sale later.

People of Assam have made Pawan Khera eat pera, mocks Himanta Biswa Sarma
Dispur: In the backdrop of the BJP-led NDA’s sweeping win in the Assam elections on Monday, Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma hit out at the Congress party, picking senior leader of the rival party Pawan Khera who had alleged that Sarma’s wife had multiple passports.
Speaking to BJP activists and reporters after the poll results were announced, the CM opined that Khera should no longer hold the position of spokesperson in the Congress, adding, “The people of Assam have Pawan Khera eat ‘pera’.”
Sarma, who called the people’s mandate in the state both historic and emotional, said, “The state’s image had started changing since 2016, under the influence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah. Assam is now being considered a development-orientated state because of them.”
Commenting on the Congress leadership, the CM said that the people believed the BJP’s allegations during the campaign. “Congress leaders, however, faced rejection from their own communities,” he claimed and added that the BJP government would continue raising certain issues even after the elections.
