It’s not just groceries that are delivered in the blink of an eye in the world of quick commerce. 

A recent Swiggy Instamart advertisement had the internet in splits when a girl, looking for a ‘broom,’ accidentally types in ‘groom’ on the app. Within seconds, a wedding is interrupted as a groom is whisked away, only for him to be returned when she corrects her typo.

The ad points to a larger phenomenon—quick commerce apps in India are delivering not just everyday essentials, but almost anything, including the newly launched iPhone 16!

After the iPhone 16 launched in India, quick commerce giants Blinkit, Zepto, and Bigbasket partnered with Apple sellers like Unicorn to offer deliveries of the latest iPhone within minutes.

Social media went wild, with users sharing jokes and memes about the absurd speed at which their iPhones were delivered.

Here are the funniest memes and reactions that captured the internet’s mood after the iPhone 16 launch.
