Apple has officially launched its inaugural retail store in Bengaluru, named Apple Hebbal, which represents a significant achievement for the tech company in South India. The store was opened on September 2, 2025, at 1 p.m. IST, becoming Apple’s third official outlet in India, following those in Mumbai BKC and Delhi Saket. Situated in the center of India’s technology hub, Apple Hebbal aims to be more than just a shopping venue. The company describes the store as a “community hub” that embodies Bengaluru’s innovative and technology-focused culture. “We are eager to connect with the local community and inspire creativity, collaboration, and exceptional achievements with Apple products,” stated Deirdre O’Brien, Apple’s Senior Vice President of Retail and People.
Unlike third-party retailers, Apple Hebbal offers customers hands-on access to the latest devices. Visitors can try out the newly released iPhone 16 series, the MacBook Pro powered by Apple’s M4 chips, the iPad Air with Apple Pencil Pro, and the Apple Watch Series 10. The store also features the newest accessories, including AirPods 4 and AirTag. With Apple’s annual iPhone launch event set for September 9, customers at the Hebbal store will soon get an exclusive first look at the anticipated iPhone 17 series. Launch-day promotions and special discounts are expected, making it an appealing destination for early adopters. Beyond shopping, the store provides personalized sessions with Apple Specialists, live product demonstrations, and expert support at the Genius Bar.
A dedicated Apple Pickup area is available for customers who prefer to order online and pick up their items in-store, ensuring a seamless experience. A diverse team of 70 members has been assembled for the Hebbal location, with staff members coming from 15 different Indian states. These trained professionals are ready to assist customers in various tasks, including setting up new devices, transitioning to iOS, navigating Apple’s Trade-In program, and investigating financing options. The Bengaluru store will also host Today at Apple sessions—free daily workshops led by Apple Creatives. Open to everyone, these sessions cover a variety of skills including photography, sketching with Apple Pencil, and using Apple Intelligence features on iPhone and iPad.
They are specifically tailored to attract students, entrepreneurs, artists, and new Apple users. For businesses, Apple Hebbal has established a dedicated Business Team that offers customized solutions to incorporate Apple technology into their growth strategies. In alignment with Apple’s global sustainability standards, the Hebbal store has been constructed with an emphasis on sustainability. The facility runs entirely on renewable energy and operates as a carbon-neutral outlet, underscoring Apple’s commitment to environmental responsibility. While Bengaluru celebrates the opening of its first Apple Store, the company is already planning further expansion. Apple has announced the launch of its Pune location, Apple Koregaon Park, scheduled for September 4, 2025, at 1 p.m. IST.
With flagship stores in Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, and soon Pune, Apple is continuously expanding its retail presence in India. To celebrate the new openings, customers will have access to exclusive wallpapers and curated Apple Music playlists inspired by Bengaluru and Pune.
