American smartphone manufacturer Apple on September 9 launched the best iPhones of all time, which are described as the best in terms of camera and features.
iPhones have always been expensive, the price of a mobile phone ranges from 400,000 to 650,000 Pakistani rupees, and this time too, iPhone prices are increasing.
This time, the company launched the 'iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, and iPhone 17 Max and Pro' and each phone was offered in two memory models.
The starting price of the phones has been announced, according to which the company's cheapest iPhone 17 will cost US$799, which means the Pakistani price will be up to 227,000 rupees, but this does not include the Pakistan Telecom Tax (PTA).
Similarly, the company's top-of-the-line phone, the iPhone 17 Max, will start at Rs 340,000, and the higher-memory model will cost more, while the PTA tax will be levied separately on it.
The price of any iPhone 17 in Pakistan will not be less than 390,000 to 410,000 rupees, while the top iPhone is likely to cost between 590,000 and 620,000 rupees.
The Privacy and Tax Association collects fees ranging from 130,000 to 185,000 rupees for registering iPhones.
Including the Privacy and Tax Association fees, the cheapest iPhone in Pakistan will be available for 390,000 rupees, while the most expensive phone will be available for 620,000 rupees.
The prices of iPhones are so high that they exceed the annual income of thousands of Pakistanis.
Typically, the monthly salary of contract workers in Pakistan is barely 40,000 rupees.
The employees' monthly salary of 40,000 rupees brings their annual income to 480,000 rupees, while the cost of the most expensive iPhone is more than 600,000 rupees.
