The iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max launched on September 18, 2026. Prices went up by $100 in the US compared to last year, and Pakistan prices reflect that increase. Here are the confirmed Pakistan prices, US prices, and what to expect for the standard iPhone 18.
iPhone 18 Pro Max Price in Pakistan
Rs. 605,000 – 256GB, PTA-approved with official warranty.
The Pro Max starts at $1,299 in the US (256GB). Higher storage versions cost more: $1,499 for 512GB, $1,899 for 1TB, and $2,499 for the new 2TB option. Pakistan prices for these higher variants are not confirmed yet.
iPhone 18 Pro Price in Pakistan
Rs. 565,000 – 256GB, PTA-approved with official warranty.
The smaller Pro starts at $1,199 in the US (256GB) and also comes in 512GB, 1TB, and 2TB options. This year, even the smaller Pro gets the 2TB option for the first time.
Why Prices Increased
Apple raised US prices by $100 on both models. The company pointed to rising memory and component costs, driven by a global memory-chip shortage as AI data centers buy up supply. Apple’s CEO described it as a “hundred-year flood on memory pricing.” The actual increase came in below most analyst forecasts, which had predicted $150 to $300.
Standard iPhone 18 – Expected Price (Rumored)
The standard iPhone 18 has not launched yet — it is expected in spring 2027. Its price is not confirmed. Current rumors cluster around $799 to $899, with $899 the most-cited figure. Treat this as an estimate only; Apple has announced nothing.
PTA Approval and Warranty
Both Pakistan prices above are for PTA-approved units with official warranty. Non-PTA or grey-market units may be cheaper, but they can be blocked from local networks and have no warranty. Always confirm PTA approval before buying.
