Summary: Mumbai’s Apple store draws huge crowds for the iPhone 17 launch; a scuffle breaks out among excited buyers.

The buzz was loud and early outside Apple’s BKC store today, as fans lined up before dawn to get the new iPhone 17 series. Umbrellas, energy drinks, and portable chargers were part of the daily kit for those camping out.

In the midst of the excitement, the atmosphere became tense when a small fight occurred among the people in line. Security stepped in and quickly separated those involved.

Despite the commotion, many customers said all of it was worth it. Some came from hours away in hopes of being among the first to own the new phone with its upgraded camera, chip, and designs.
