Apple unveiled its latest flagship series, the iPhone 16, yesterday. The lineup includes the iPhone 16, 16 Plus, 16 Pro, and 16 Pro Max, each boasting impressive upgrades like enhanced A18/A18 Pro chipsets, improved photography capabilities, and generative AI features. While these devices are yet to hit the market globally, we can make some educated guesses about their potential pricing in Pakistan.
Base Model: iPhone 16
The iPhone 16, starting at $800 in the US, is expected to be priced significantly higher in Pakistan. Considering the current exchange rate and the addition of fixed sales tax, we can estimate a price of around Rs. 279,154. However, factoring in profit margins set by local retailers, the actual price could easily surpass Rs. 330,000.
iPhone 16 Plus
Priced at $900 in the US, the iPhone 16 Plus is likely to be even more expensive in Pakistan. We can expect a price tag of around Rs. 370,000 or higher.
iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max
The top-tier models, the iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max, are expected to command premium prices. Starting at $1,199 in the US, the iPhone 16 Pro Max could easily exceed Rs. 500,000 in Pakistan for the base model. Variants with more storage might even reach Rs. 600,000.
Conclusion
While these are just estimations, it’s clear that the iPhone 16 series will be a significant investment for Pakistani consumers. The actual prices will only be confirmed once the devices become available in the country. It remains to be seen whether the premium features and performance will justify the expected high price tags.
