Before the iPhone 16 series even hit the shelves, Apple enthusiasts were already creating quite the spectacle.
The highly anticipated iPhone 16 series hit the Indian market on Friday, and eager buyers wasted no time in flocking to Apple stores in Delhi and Mumbai. Hundreds gathered outside the official Apple stores in Saket and BKC to be among the first to own the latest iPhone models.

The sale of the new Apple phone has also triggered a meme fest, poking fun at the frenzy, on social media.
An X user shared their take on the iPhone 16 hysteria, posting a popular meme template featuring actor Wagner Moura, who portrayed Pablo Escobar in the Netflix series Narcos, waiting in various lonely settings. In one image, he's standing in a garden with his hands behind his back, and in another, he's sitting at an empty dining table. The caption read, "Waiting for my #iPhone16. This meme has never felt so real!"
