Finally, the wait is over. With Mercantile, Apple’s primary authorized distributor in Pakistan, verifying availability through its partner network, the iPhone 17 series has formally gone on sale in the nation.
The iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17 Pro Max, and the incredibly thin iPhone Air are all part of the lineup this time.
Customers don’t have to worry about network problems or warranty support because all models have full PTA approval. Compared to unauthorized imports, where equipment frequently lacks official registration or after-sales services, this also makes the purchase safer.
When it comes to prices, the iPhone Air starts at PKR 480,000 for the 256 GB version, while the 1 TB option goes up to PKR 646,500. The standard iPhone 17 begins at PKR 399,000, and the 512 GB version is priced at PKR 482,500.
For those looking at the Pro models, the iPhone 17 Pro costs PKR 520,500 for 256 GB, and PKR 686,500 for the 1 TB model. The iPhone 17 Pro Max, the most expensive in the lineup, starts at PKR 565,000 and goes as high as PKR 898,500 for the massive 2 TB option.
Yes, these prices are noticeably higher compared to the US as usual, where the iPhone 17 Pro Max starts at $1,199.
The difference comes down to import duties, taxes, and PTA registration costs in Pakistan. At last, Pakistani shoppers may feel secure about their purchases due to official availability.
