Apple to open first store in Noida on December 11 inside DLF Mall of India

Apple has announced that it will launch its inaugural retail store in Noida on December 11, marking a significant expansion with its fifth official location in India. The new Apple Noida store will be situated within the DLF Mall of India, providing a dedicated space for customers to explore the latest devices, receive expert assistance, and engage with the brand's expanding ecosystem. Earlier today, the store's barricade was unveiled, showcasing a colorful design inspired by peacock feathers. This artwork is a tribute to India’s rich cultural heritage and creativity, mirroring the visual themes seen at Apple’s stores in Hebbal, Bengaluru, and Koregaon Park, Pune. Apple has noted that Noida embodies design, ambition, and innovation, positioning the new store as a hub for discovery and creativity with its technology. Customers can expect to see the latest hardware on display, including the iPhone 17 series and the M5-powered iPad Pro and MacBook Pro 14”. The store will employ Apple Specialists, Creatives, Geniuses, and Business teams to provide personalized support. Additionally, it will feature 'Today at Apple' sessions, offering complimentary daily workshops on photography, art, music, and coding led by Apple Creatives. To enhance the retail experience, Apple has also integrated online services, including the Apple Store Online, Shop with a Specialist Over Video, and the Apple Store app, allowing customers more flexible options for connecting with Apple and obtaining assistance. In anticipation of the opening, Apple has released exclusive Apple Noida wallpapers, crafted a city-inspired Apple Music playlist, and shared more details about the store on its website. Apple’s retail journey in India commenced in April 2023 with the opening of Apple BKC in Mumbai and Apple Saket in Delhi. These two locations have reportedly generated close to Rs 800 crore in combined revenue during their first year, placing them among the company's top-performing stores globally. Notably, despite its smaller size, the Saket store accounts for nearly 60 percent of those sales. Apple is also enhancing its service offerings in India, recently introducing updated AppleCare+ plans that include Theft and Loss coverage for iPhones, aimed at providing customers with improved device protection options.
