Apple’s new iPhone 18 series may cost Pakistani buyers much more after PTA registration taxes are added. Reports suggest that the PTA-related tax on some iPhone 18 models can be close to Rs300,000. This is separate from the price of the phone.
What is the iPhone 18 registration cost in Pakistan?
People who bring an iPhone 18 from another country need to register it for use with local mobile networks.
An unregistered phone may lose access to local cellular services after the allowed period. Users may then need to complete the required registration process.
The tax amount depends on the iPhone model and its assessed value. This means the registration cost can be different for each device.
Higher cost for iPhone 18 buyers
The extra tax could make the latest iPhone models much more expensive for buyers in Pakistan.
Customers need to consider both the phone’s price and the PTA registration charges before buying the device. The combined cost can be much higher than the international price of the phone.
The latest iPhone series has attracted interest from Apple users in Pakistan. However, the high registration charges may be an important factor for people planning to buy the new models.
Consumers should check the latest PTA tax for their specific iPhone model before making a purchase. The amount can change based on the device and its assessed value.
What issues are iPhone 18 Pro users reporting?
Apple is working on a software fix after users reported freezing and unexpected restarts on the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max.
The issue appeared soon after the two models were launched. Several users said their phones became unresponsive while they were using them.
Reports suggest the problem can happen when users try to unlock their phones with Face ID but the authentication fails.
The iPhone may then freeze for a few seconds. The touchscreen stops responding during this time.
The device can also turn off and restart on its own. Some users said this has caused problems when they were trying to unlock their phones.
