PTA increases the tax price for all iPhone series in Pakistan

Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) announced the updated list of tax prices for all iPhone models in Pakistan. PTA tax will only be applicable on imported smartphones.

If you want to buy a new iPhone in Pakistan, then, in that case, you have to pay PTA tax to register it. In order to use local SIM in your iPhone you have to pay more than 100 thousand in tax to PTA.

PTA-approved iPhone is somehow a premium thing you have these days.

Moreover, iPhone users are criticizing the new PTA tax on smartphones. Most industry experts, the young generation, and high professionals prefer to keep iPhones for personal use. Due to the high registration price, they are unhappy with the decision.

Here is the updated PTA tax list for people who are interested in buying an iPhone.

The best thing about the iPhone is that it doesn’t lose its value for years after launch. Comparatively, smartphones from other brands usually do not last long if we compare them to an iPhone. 

Currently, the government is restricting imports to stabilize the economy. But the price of an iPhone is getting out of the access of the common man.

iPhone 14 vs Previous Model:

Compared to the previous models of iPhone, the iPhone 14 has 6 hours of additional battery life. iPhone 14 also has new upgrades of Apple that are not in previously launched models, including 5G support, more storage, a better camera, and faster performance.
In addition to this, the iPhone 14 has a larger 6.1-inch screen compared to the previous models. The design has also been upgraded with flat edges, a slightly smaller notch, and a new “squircle”-shaped camera module. So, we can say that iPhone 14 not only presents latest updates but its top-notch design also gives a modern feel.
