WEBDESK: Apple’s iPhone 16 price in Pakistan has dropped significantly, making it the lowest since its launch in September 2024. The price reduction comes amid changes in PTA tax rates and market adjustments by local distributors.
Latest iPhone 16 Price in Pakistan
Several authorized sellers have updated their series iPhone 16 prices. Here’s the latest price list:
- iPhone 16 (128GB) – PKR 317,000
- iPhone 16 Plus (128GB) – PKR 364,000
- iPhone 16 Pro (128GB) – PKR 397,000
- iPhone 16 Pro Max (256GB) – PKR 473,500
Higher storage options are also available at adjusted rates, with savings of up to PKR 50,000 compared to previous prices.
It is also worth noting that prices in the local market can vary significantly. For instance, some shopkeepers are offering the iPhone 16 Pro Max for as low as Rs520,000, which is much lower than the prices offered by official distributors like Mercantile or Gnext.
PTA Tax Updates on iPhone 16 price
The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) has revised tax rates on the iPhone 16 series, impacting the final iPhone 16 price for buyers. Tax rates vary depending on whether registration is done using a passport or CNIC:
- iPhone 16 – PKR 107,325 (passport) | PKR 130,708 (CNIC)
- iPhone 16 Plus – PKR 113,075 (passport) | PKR 137,033 (CNIC)
- iPhone 16 Pro – PKR 135,300 (passport) | PKR 161,480 (CNIC)
- iPhone 16 Pro Max – PKR 148,500 (passport) | PKR 176,000 (CNIC)
Where to Buy?
Despite lower prices, iPhones remain luxury items in Pakistan. While some local sellers offer further discounts, buyers are advised to purchase from reputable distributors to ensure authenticity and PTA approval.
You can buy an Iphone 16 at Price Oye for Rs297,999.
Despite the absence of an official Apple store in Pakistan, several distributors import the latest iPhones every year and sell them locally.
These distributors, often referred to as “official distributors,” offer iPhones that are already PTA-approved, meaning customers do not need to pay the PTA charges separately.
With the recent price drop, this may be the best time for Apple fans in Pakistan to get their hands on the latest iPhone 16 models.
Why get an iPhone 16?
The new A18 CPU and 8GB RAM represent an important hardware increase for the iPhone 16. This combination has made it possible for the smartphone to support existing Apple Intelligence capabilities and be prepared for all future developments in AI. In order to access all of the app’s features or turn on the Visual Intelligence feature, it also has a new camera control button.
