Apple Store Opens First Location in Bengaluru — A New Chapter for Apple in South India
Apple has officially entered Bengaluru’s retail landscape with the launch of its very first Apple Store in South India—Apple Hebbal—on September 2, 2025, at 1 p.m. IST. Located at Phoenix Mall of Asia on Bellary Road in Byatarayanapura, this marks Apple’s third physical retail location in India, following Mumbai’s Apple BKC and New Delhi’s Apple Saket.
Why This Apple Store Matters
Strategic Expansion into South India
Bengaluru—the country’s tech capital—represents a prime growth opportunity for Apple. Launching an Apple Store here isn’t just about grabbing attention—it’s about bringing first-rate access, support, and experiences to a vibrant, innovation-driven market.
A Fully-Featured, Customer-Focused Retail Hub
The Apple Store at Hebbal offers more than just gadgets:
- Complete Apple lineup: iPhone 16 series, MacBook Pro with M4 chips, iPad Air with Apple Pencil Pro, Apple Watch Series 10, AirPods 4, AirTag, and more.
- Genius Bar for support and repairs, now combined with the Pickup counter into a unified, convenient service area.
- Today at Apple sessions: free, hands-on workshops for creatives, students, and business users.
- Personalized experiences: Apple Specialists for consultations, trade-in, finance, device setup, and switching to iOS.
- Eco-conscious operation: the store runs on 100% renewable energy and is carbon neutral.
What Makes Apple Hebbal Special?
A Store Designed for the Bengaluru Community
The team of 70 staff members, representing 15 Indian states, is ready to assist customers in Kannada, Hindi, and over 25 regional languages. The store also features:
- Local touches: a downloadable Bengaluru-themed wallpaper and a curated Apple Music Hebbal playlist celebrating local artists.
- A welcoming atmosphere meant to reflect the city’s creative spirit and drive for innovation.
Compact Yet Impactful Design
At around 8,000 square feet, Apple Hebbal delivers a full Apple Store experience within a smaller, mall-friendly format. The unified Genius Bar/Pickup design is both efficient and customer-centered, streamlining visits without sacrificing quality.
Business Support Hub
Entrepreneurs and small business owners benefit from dedicated “Business Pros” on-site, offering guidance on device selection, deployment, and productivity tools—boosting Bengaluru’s entrepreneurial ecosystem.

Broader Impact on Apple’s India Retail Strategy
Strengthened India Presence
This Bengaluru store reinforces Apple’s retail footprint in India—from the online store’s launch in 2020 to the Mumbai and Delhi physical stores. It underlines Apple’s confidence in India’s growth potential.
South India Comes into Focus
For too long, South India lacked a physical Apple Store. Apple Hebbal addresses that gap head-on—making services, support, and inspiration available where they were missing.
Building Community, Not Just Commerce
By integrating Today at Apple sessions, local playlists, wallpapers, and business support, Apple is positioning the Hebbal store as a community hub, not just a retail point.
Final Thoughts
The opening of Apple Hebbal in Bengaluru is more than a store launch—it’s a commitment. A commitment to bring premier Apple experiences to South India, to foster creative exchange, and to support both individual and business users. With its full product range, expert team, workshops, local flavor, and eco-conscious design, this Apple Store sets a high bar.
As one customer might think: “It’s not just a place to shop—it’s a place to learn, create, and connect.” Apple Hebbal is built for that.
