iPhone 15 Pro Price is Expected To Increase in Pakistan
Apple will launch its much-anticipated iPhone 15 series next month and there have been rumors of a $100 price increase for each model.
Like its predecessor, the iPhone 14, the new series is expected to come in four flavors: a base model, a Plus model, and the more expensive Pro models.
Aside from speculation, there are two notable rumors worth noting.
What Specifications Will The iPhone 15 Have?
- Some believe Apple could replace the Lightning connector with a USB-C connector on iPhone 15 models.
- The other reason is that Apple may choose to use Qualcomm chips in these products because the new chips may not be available in time.
- Camera and screen upgrades are also possible and the famous Dynamic Island feature will likely remain.
For now, let’s focus on the estimated price of the iPhone 15 series in Pakistan.
What Will Be The PTA Tax On The New iPhone 15?
The PTA tax on the iPhone 15 may increase due to the following reasons:
- The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) taxes cell phones based on their dollar value under the current tax structure.
- Therefore, the dollar value of a larger phone equates to a higher PTA tax.
- The top PTA tax for iPhone 14 Pro models is now Rs 131,000 for passport holders and Rs 156,000 for those using their CNIC after the RBF recently announced a tax cut.
- Our estimate for the top PTA tax on the upcoming iPhone 15 series would be around Rs 150,000 for passport holders and around Rs 170,000 for CNIC holders, given the expected $100 price increase.
What Could The iPhone 15 Price Be in Pakistan?
The iPhone 15 Pro is expected to be available in Pakistan at around Rs 500,000.
When Will The New iPhone 15 Be Released?
Apple is expected to hold its biggest iPhone 15 announcement event on September 13th.
According to 9To5Mac, wireless carriers were secretly asking their employees to keep September 13 free from previous commitments due to a major smartphone launch.
This indirect clue heralds an important smartphone-related discovery on the day. Given Apple’s frequent practice of holding its fall launch events in September, it’s entirely possible that the company will continue this practice.
Assuming the timing is right, Apple will make an official announcement within the next few weeks or days.
