Apple has officially introduced its iPhone 17 lineup, which includes the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17 Pro Max, and the brand-new iPhone 17 Air, the company’s thinnest iPhone to date. While the devices are not yet officially available in Pakistan, potential buyers can already estimate the local pricing after accounting for the US retail price, PTA taxes, and retailer margins.
Expected iPhone 17 Prices in Pakistan
Based on current exchange rates (1 USD = PKR 284) and estimated PTA duties, here’s a breakdown of what Pakistani consumers might pay:
-
iPhone 17 – US Price: $799 (PKR 226,913)
Expected in Pakistan: PKR 360,000 – PKR 400,000 -
iPhone 17 Air (Ultra-Thin Model) – US Price: $999 (PKR 283,713)
Expected in Pakistan: PKR 450,000 – PKR 500,000 -
iPhone 17 Pro – US Price: $1,099 (PKR 312,112)
Expected in Pakistan: PKR 500,000 – PKR 550,000 -
iPhone 17 Pro Max – US Price: $1,199 (PKR 340,512)
Expected in Pakistan: PKR 550,000 – PKR 600,000
(Final retail prices may differ depending on storage options, official PTA approvals, and dealer markups.)
PTA Tax and Registration Reminder
Anyone bringing an iPhone 17 series device from abroad must pay Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) taxes to register it under the DIRBS system before using it with local SIM cards.
Overseas Pakistanis, however, can take advantage of temporary registration, which allows them to use the phone for up to 120 days without paying full PTA duties.
Key Takeaway
The iPhone 17 series in Pakistan is set to be among the most expensive Apple lineups yet, mainly due to high PTA taxes and rising exchange rates. With prices expected to start from PKR 360,000, only premium buyers will be able to afford the iPhone 17 Pro Max or the ultra-thin iPhone 17 Air.
As official availability approaches, retailers are likely to announce pre-order offers, trade-in deals, and financing options to make the iPhone 17 series more accessible to Pakistani consumers.
