Twenty-three-year-old Miraj from Delhi says he's a massive tech afficionado. "I'm so excited. I am here to explore the products, and may even buy a new iPad for my father," he tells The Quint.

Ayush Jain from Delhi tells The Quint he loves collecting tech products. He says he owns a 1st Gen iBook, 1st Gen Mac Book with Wi-Fi connectivity, 1st Gen iPad and iPhone, and an Apple Watch Series Zero. But Ayush says he's never used any of them. "It's still sealed in the package. I just love collecting them."

Twenty-one-year-old Lashkya (right) is an avid Apple user. Speaking about the newly opened store, the Gurgaon native said: "It's like living with Apple everyday and experiencing it everyday. Retail is here, and this is the biggest thing any apple fanboy can dream of..."

Lakshya says he has been waiting in line at the Apple store since 4 am on Thursday.

Lakshya showed The Quint his disassembled iPhone 4s, which he got Apple CEO Tim Cook to sign at the opening.

Shantanu, 27, who hails from Dwarka, tells The Quint he has been waiting for an Apple store to open in India for so long. "I waited in the line from 8:30 am and got a chance to enter at 10:30 am. I bought a few accessories this time – an Airtag for myself and Airpod for my friend who couldn't make it today."

Trisha Sur, who was waiting in line to enter the store, told The Quint she's very excited to see what's inside. "I already have some products and I want to see what's waiting for me at the store."
