In today’s episode of Decode With Sudhir Chaudhary, we analyse the frenzy surrounding the launch of the iPhone 18 and iPhone 18 Pro Max in India, where buyers queued outside Apple Stores through the night despite prices reaching around ₹1.80 lakh. We also decode shocking food-safety violations at Mumbai’s Olympia Coffee House, Iran’s massive Tehran rally, America’s proposed F-35 sale to Saudi Arabia, China’s attempt to rein in the Houthis through Iran, the reported Pakistan-Trump family drone deal and the death of Surinder Koli, who was acquitted in the Nithari case.
The iPhone 18 and iPhone 18 Pro Max have gone on sale across India, triggering midnight queues and early-morning crowds outside Apple Stores. Some buyers reportedly reached as early as 2 AM or 5 AM to get their new iPhone. Despite the significant price difference between India and the US, customers turned the launch into an annual festival. We decode the psychology behind India’s iPhone FOMO, why people are willing to spend ₹1.80 lakh on a smartphone and what this says about consumer behaviour in the new India.
Mumbai’s iconic Olympia Coffee House, where filmmaker Christopher Nolan once stopped for chai, has lost its licence following serious food-safety and hygiene violations. During an inspection, Maharashtra’s Food and Drug Administration reportedly found a urinal inside the food-storage area along with other major hygiene lapses. We decode how such shocking conditions can exist inside popular food establishments and what it means for food safety in Mumbai.
Iran has staged a massive government-organised rally in Tehran, with hundreds of thousands reportedly taking part in what was described as the country’s biggest such gathering since the war began. Participants called for unity and retribution, while volunteers pledged to take up arms. We decode Iran’s show of strength amid the ongoing conflict and examine the message Tehran is sending to its enemies.
The Trump administration has asked the US Congress to approve the sale of 48 F-35 fighter jets to Saudi Arabia in a deal estimated at $24.3 billion. Riyadh is seeking Washington’s support amid its conflict with Yemen’s Houthis. We decode the strategic significance of the F-35 deal and how advanced American fighter jets could change the military balance in West Asia.
Saudi Arabia has also sought China’s help as the Houthi threat grows. Beijing has reportedly asked Iran to help curb the Houthis, with the escalating Red Sea conflict threatening energy routes that are vital to China. We decode why Saudi Arabia approached Beijing, Iran’s role in the Houthi equation and China’s growing stake in West Asian stability.
We also decode reports of a drone deal involving Pakistan and members of the Trump family, and the death of Surinder Koli. Koli, who spent nearly two decades in prison in connection with the Nithari killings, was acquitted in the final case against him in 2025 and was later found dead inside a tea stall he ran in Haridwar. We examine the circumstances surrounding his death and the long shadow of one of India’s most notorious criminal cases.
