Apple's iPhone 18 Pro series reached Indian customers through quick-commerce apps, with delivery times that could beat a pizza order. TechCrunch reports that the launch generated immediate interest, but the apps' inventory did not hold up for long.
Within hours of the debut, availability turned patchy, the report says. The article does not specify which cities or platforms were affected, nor how quickly stock was replenished.
Because this analysis draws on a single source, there is no independent confirmation of the shortages. The report still highlights the speed of India's quick-commerce sector and the supply constraints that can follow a high-profile device launch.
