Apple music officially arrives in Pakistan

Apple Music has started rolling out in Pakistan with subscription plans priced in Pakistani rupees, giving iPhone and Apple users official access to the company’s music streaming service.

The development was noticed during Apple’s latest iOS 27 beta testing, with users in Pakistan reporting that they can now subscribe to Apple Music using local payment cards. Several users have also confirmed successful payments and access to the service, although the rollout appears to be happening gradually.

Based on details shared by users in Pakistan, Apple Music is available at the following prices:

  • Individual Plan: 379 per month
  • Family Plan: 649 per month
  • Free Trial: One month for eligible new subscribers

Apple Music provides access to more than 100 million songs, along with ad-free streaming, offline downloads, lossless audio and Spatial Audio. The service is available on iPhone, iPad, Mac, Android, Windows and other supported devices.

Apple’s payment support information also includes Pakistan among the countries where users can add funds to their Apple Account balance and use most credit and debit cards. This further points to the expanding availability of Apple services in the country.

Apple Pay Could Follow

The arrival of Apple Music has also renewed speculation about a possible Apple Pay launch in Pakistan.

During checks of the latest iOS 27 beta, developers and users reportedly found references to PayPak, Pakistan’s domestic card payment network, alongside payment systems from other regions.

This does not confirm that Apple Pay is launching in Pakistan. The references suggest Apple may be preparing or testing support, but there is currently no confirmed launch date or official announcement.

Apple’s current payment-method documentation also does not list Apple Pay as an available payment option in Pakistan.

What This Means for Apple Users

The Apple Music rollout could make things much easier for Pakistani users who previously had to use foreign Apple Account regions, international cards or other workarounds to access the service.

The introduction of rupee-based plans and local payment options also suggests that Apple is giving more attention to Pakistan’s growing digital market.

If Apple Pay is eventually launched in the country, it could be an even bigger development, potentially allowing users to add supported Pakistani cards to Apple Wallet and make contactless payments.

For now, Apple Music is the confirmed development in Pakistan, while Apple Pay remains a possibility that has yet to receive an official launch announcement.
