Apple has taken the tech world by storm with the launch of its iPhone 17 series, a lineup that has already grabbed global attention.
While fans worldwide are buzzing with excitement, buyers in Pakistan are focused on how much it will cost them to own the latest Apple flagship.
Due to heavy taxes on imported phones, the iPhone 17’s base model is expected to cost between Rs3.6 and Rs3.8 lakh, while premium variants could go up to Rs7 lakh.
Under the PTA’s DIRBS system, anyone bringing an iPhone 17 from abroad must pay the required tax to register the device for local use. Without this, the phone will stop working with Pakistani SIMs after two months.
