Apple's first retail store in India opened on Tuesday (April 18) in Mumbai's Bandra Kurla Complex location. Long lines of Apple aficionados were observed forming outside the store many hours before the big opening.
One fan was seen carrying a vintage Apple computer which he said he bought in 1984. "I brought this only to demonstrate Apple's journey. I got this in 1984 and have been using Apple goods ever since. "This is a 2 Megabyte, black and white computer, but Apple now makes 4K, even 8K, resolution displays, so Apple has come a long way," the fan remarked.
