Bengaluru: Apple has officially announced the launch of its newest retail store, Apple Hebbal, marking its first outlet in South India and third in India after Apple BKC in Mumbai and Apple Saket in Delhi. The store opens on Tuesday, September 2, at 1 p.m. IST, and is positioned as a community hub offering the full Apple experience — from product shopping and technical support to creativity-focused sessions.

A milestone for Apple in India

Apple Hebbal comes at a time when India is emerging as a key growth market for the tech giant. “We’re delighted to open Apple Hebbal, a community hub that celebrates Bengaluru’s spirit of innovation,” said Deirdre O’Brien, Apple’s senior vice president of Retail and People. “We can’t wait to connect with people here and inspire them to create, collaborate, and do amazing things with Apple.”

The store’s 70 team members represent 15 states across India, reflecting the brand’s commitment to diversity and inclusivity. Each employee is trained to help customers explore Apple’s range of products and services, along with trade-in options, monthly financing, and one-on-one personal setup.

Products and services on offer

At Apple Hebbal, visitors can experience Apple’s latest innovations, including the newly launched iPhone 16 lineup, MacBook Pro with M4 chips, iPad Air with Apple Pencil Pro, and the Apple Watch Series 10. Accessories such as AirPods 4 and AirTag will also be available.

Customers can book personalised shopping sessions with specialists, receive expert support at the Genius Bar, and use the Apple Pickup service for convenient online order collection. Like all Apple facilities, the store is powered entirely by renewable energy and is carbon neutral.

A space for creativity and learning

Apple Hebbal will also feature free daily Today at Apple sessions, led by Apple Creatives, to help users explore skills like photography on iPhone, digital art on iPad, and understanding Apple Intelligence. Group booking options will be available for families, students, and businesses to learn collectively.

In addition, Apple is dedicating resources to support Bengaluru’s entrepreneurial ecosystem. Business Pros will provide guidance to startups and SMEs, offering tailored device support and strategies to drive growth.

Local connections and grand opening

To mark the launch, Apple is releasing exclusive Apple Hebbal wallpapers and a curated Apple Music playlist featuring Bengaluru artists. This initiative is intended to highlight the city’s creative energy while giving customers a unique connection to the new store.

Conclusion

Apple Hebbal is more than just a retail outlet — it is designed as a collaborative space that blends technology, creativity, and business support. With Bengaluru being India’s technology capital, the new store reinforces Apple’s growing commitment to the Indian market and its customers.
