Apple To Open New Retail Store in Bengaluru on September 2: What Customers Can Expect

Bengaluru is all set to welcome Apple’s newest retail store, Apple Hebbal, on September 2, at Phoenix Mall of Asia. This marks Apple’s third official store in India after Apple BKC in Mumbai and Apple Saket in Delhi, underlining the tech giant’s increasing focus on the Indian market — not just for sales but also for long-term brand building and customer engagement.
 

Apple Expands Its Retail Presence in India

Apple officially announced on Thursday that it will open its doors at Apple Hebbal, Bengaluru, giving customers another exclusive opportunity to explore its complete product lineup and experience world-class service. The new store will be housed inside Phoenix Mall of Asia, one of the city’s largest and most premium shopping destinations.

The barricade of the store was unveiled earlier in the day, decorated with vibrant peacock-inspired feathers — a symbol of India’s pride. The artwork reflects Apple’s consistent effort to blend global design with local cultural elements, making every launch an experience in itself.

This opening comes at a time when Apple is stepping up both its retail and manufacturing presence in India. With Bengaluru being a hub for technology and innovation, the decision to establish a flagship store in the city highlights Apple’s strategy to connect with a growing base of tech-savvy customers.
 

What’s Inside Apple Hebbal?
 

According to Apple, the new store will feature its entire product ecosystem, ranging from iPhones, iPads, Macs, and Apple Watches to accessories like AirPods and the newly introduced Apple Vision Pro (expected to arrive later this year in India).

Customers will also have access to Apple’s dedicated teams:

• Specialists for personalized shopping assistance.
• Creatives who lead learning sessions.
• Geniuses for expert technical support.
• Business teams catering to entrepreneurs and enterprises.
   

Like other Apple stores worldwide, Apple Hebbal will also host “Today at Apple” sessions — free, interactive workshops designed to help users make the most of their devices. These sessions cover a wide range of topics including art, productivity, photography, music creation, coding, and Apple Intelligence features. Whether you’re a beginner looking to set up your iPhone or a professional exploring advanced workflows on Mac, these sessions are designed to inspire and educate.
 

Pre-Launch Engagement and Exclusive Offers

Ahead of the store’s grand opening, Apple is offering special experiences for its community. Customers can:

• Download exclusive Apple Hebbal wallpapers inspired by the Bengaluru launch artwork.
• Listen to a curated Apple Music playlist featuring sounds of the city.
• Learn more about the store and sign up for Today at Apple sessions through the company’s website and app.

This immersive pre-launch engagement reflects Apple’s strategy of building excitement and community involvement before any store opening.
 

Apple’s Manufacturing Push in India
 

Interestingly, the store launch coincides with a major announcement about Apple’s manufacturing strategy in India. For the first time ever, all iPhone 17 models — including the premium Pro versions — will be produced in India from the start.

The iPhone maker has spread production across five local factories, two of which have recently started operations. While the Pro models are expected to be manufactured in smaller volumes initially, this is a historic shift, underscoring Apple’s trust in India as a key production hub.

This move aligns with the Indian government’s “Make in India” initiative and is expected to reduce Apple’s reliance on China while also bringing economic benefits, job creation, and technology transfer to India.
 

Why Bengaluru Matters for Apple
 

Bengaluru, often dubbed India’s “Silicon Valley,” is home to a massive base of tech professionals, startups, and young consumers eager to adopt the latest innovations. By placing its third retail store here, Apple is positioning itself not just as a premium technology provider but as an active participant in India’s digital growth story.

The launch of Apple Hebbal also signifies Apple’s long-term commitment to deepening its footprint in India’s retail sector, while complementing its strong online presence through the Apple Store app and website.
 

Conclusion
 

The grand opening of Apple Hebbal in Bengaluru on September 2 is more than just another retail expansion — it’s a statement of Apple’s growing confidence in the Indian market. Customers can look forward to exploring the latest Apple products, attending free creative sessions, and experiencing Apple’s signature customer support firsthand.

With its retail expansion, pre-launch experiences, and manufacturing milestones, Apple is clearly betting big on India — both as a consumer market and as a global production hub. For Bengaluru’s residents and Apple fans across the country, September 2 promises to be a landmark day.
