ISLAMABAD (Kashmir English): Apple’s new iPhone 18 series has reached the Pakistani market, with fresh estimates emerging for the PTA registration taxes applicable to the latest models.
According to the latest reported figures, the estimated PTA tax for the iPhone 18 Pro is around PKR 216,231 when registered using a passport, while registration through a CNIC is estimated at approximately PKR 237,854.
For the iPhone 18 Pro Max, the estimated tax stands at around PKR 223,181 on a passport and PKR 245,499 on a CNIC.
The estimated tax details for the iPhone 18 series are as follows:
| iPhone Model | Passport Registration | CNIC Registration |
|---|---|---|
| iPhone 18 | PKR 271,381 | PKR 299,014 |
| iPhone 18 Pro | PKR 216,231 | PKR 237,854 |
| iPhone 18 Pro Max | PKR 223,181 | PKR 245,499 |
However, these figures should be treated as market estimates rather than final government quotations. Reports have cited different estimates for the latest iPhone models, while the final payable amount can depend on the device’s IMEI and the assessment generated through the official registration process.
Consumers planning to purchase an imported iPhone 18 should therefore verify the device’s IMEI, PTA registration status and exact applicable taxes before making a purchase.
Checking the registration status in advance can help buyers avoid unexpected costs or network-blocking issues after the device is brought into use in Pakistan.
