A19 Pro Chip. Apple Intelligence. Redesigned Cameras.
The complete guide to pricing, taxes, and availability.
Apple released the iPhone 17 series in September 2025 with four distinct models designed for different user segments. Each device features advanced processors, redesigned camera systems, and Apple Intelligence—a suite of AI-powered features that operate primarily on-device. For Pakistani consumers, the lineup offers varying price points and feature sets, from the entry-level iPhone 17 to the flagship Pro Max model.
Prices below include estimated import duties, PTA taxes, and retailer margins as of late 2025.
| Model | Est. Price (PKR) | Display | Processor | Key Feature |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| iPhone 17 | 399,000+ | 6.3" 120Hz | A19 | Dual 48MP Camera |
| iPhone 17 Air | 480,000+ | 6.5" 120Hz | A19 Pro | Ultra-thin, eSIM Only |
| iPhone 17 Pro | 520,500+ | 6.3" ProMotion | A19 Pro | Triple Cam, Vapor Cooling |
| iPhone 17 Pro Max | 550,000 - 898,500 | 6.9" ProMotion | A19 Pro | 10x Zoom, Best Battery |
The standard model starts at PKR 399,000. It features a 6.3-inch Super Retina XDR OLED display with 120Hz ProMotion, an A19 chip, and 8GB RAM.
Priced from PKR 480,000, this mid-tier model bridges the gap. It features a larger 6.5-inch display, the powerful A19 Pro chip with 12GB RAM, but is eSIM-only.
Every iPhone 17 model now features 120Hz ProMotion with adaptive refresh rates (1Hz to 120Hz). The Super Retina XDR OLED panels hit 3,000 nits peak outdoor brightness—perfect for Pakistan's intense sunlight. The screens also feature an improved anti-reflective coating.

Travelers importing iPhone 17 models have 60 days to register. PTA Taxes are substantial:
All models support 5G, available in major cities (Islamabad, Lahore, Karachi). Warning: The iPhone 17 Air is eSIM only. Ensure you get an eSIM QR code from Jazz, Zong, or Ufone before buying this specific model.
Given Pakistan's warm climate, the Vapor Chamber Cooling in the Pro models is a significant advantage, preventing overheating during summer. The Pro Max offers the longest battery life (4,700mAh) for multi-day usage, while the Air uses a new efficient C1X modem to maintain battery life despite its thinness.
Choose iPhone 17 Pro Max. The 10x optical zoom, 8K video, and massive storage (up to 2TB) are essential for high-quality production without external gear.
Choose iPhone 17 Air. It offers the powerful A19 Pro chip for multitasking and documents, but in a sleek, lightweight form factor that looks professional.
Choose iPhone 17 Pro. The 12GB RAM and sustained performance of the A19 Pro chip are ideal for compiling code and testing apps on-device.
Choose iPhone 17. You get the 120Hz screen, excellent main camera, and A19 performance at the lowest entry price.
PTA taxes fluctuate based on exchange rates, but expect to pay between PKR 160,000 and 190,000 depending on whether you register on a Passport or CNIC.
