iPhone 15 price in Pakistan
The iPhone 15 or Titanium edition, comes with its own set of pricing considerations. While the exact price may vary based on configurations like storage capacity and whether it’s purchased with carrier ties or unlocked, in Pakistan, additional costs arise from taxes imposed by the PTA and FBR. For instance, as of the latest updates, the iPhone 15 Titanium might be priced around $1,500 USD in international markets. However, in Pakistan, this price can significantly increase when PTA taxes and import duties are applied.
