Quick Summary
Expected Price in Pakistan
All figures are expected estimates based on import/PTA cost trends — not official Apple prices. Prices may change after the official launch.
| Variant | Expected Non-PTA | Expected PTA Approved | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| iPhone 18 Pro 256GB | Rs 520,000 – 560,000 | Rs 600,000 – 650,000 | Expected |
| iPhone 18 Pro 512GB | Rs 560,000 – 600,000 | Rs 650,000 – 700,000 | Expected |
| iPhone 18 Pro 1TB | Rs 600,000 – 640,000 | Rs 690,000 – 740,000 | Expected |
Each storage step typically adds about Rs 35,000–60,000. These are expected launch-window ranges in Pakistan; importer pricing usually starts high and settles after a few months. Always confirm the live price before buying.
Latest (September 2026): Apple confirms its Sept 9 event for the iPhone 18 Pro
Credible reports as of early August 2026 (MacRumors and others) point to these headline changes: an A20 Pro chip on TSMC's first 2nm process, Apple's new C2 modem with 5G satellite connectivity, a new N2 Wi-Fi/Bluetooth chip, a smaller Dynamic Island (the Face ID flood illuminator reportedly moves under the display), and more efficient LTPO+ displays at the same 6.3-inch and 6.9-inch sizes.
On cameras, the 48MP main sensor is expected to gain a variable aperture — a first for iPhone — letting the lens physically control how much light passes through. The rear design is rumored to switch to a more frosted, seamless Ceramic Shield finish, and the Camera Control button is reportedly simplified to pressure-only input.
Colors are the most conflicting leak: MacRumors expects Light Blue, Dark Gray, Silver and a new Dark Cherry (replacing Cosmic Orange and Deep Blue), while other leakers claim Coffee, Purple and Burgundy shades. Treat all color claims as unconfirmed until the event.
The important catch for buyers: multiple reports say the 18 Pro will see a US price increase of roughly $200–300 — research firm TrendForce now estimates ~$1,399 for the 256GB Pro, with component costs reported up ~40% and memory alone ~34% of the bill of materials. Kuo additionally reports Apple is cutting 2026 shipment volumes over the DRAM shortage, so early stock may sell out in pre-orders — which feeds directly into the Pakistani price estimates below. Apple has now officially confirmed its September 9, 2026 event for the Pro models plus its first foldable (the iPhone Ultra) — the standard iPhone 18 is reportedly delayed to spring 2027.
iPhone 18 Pro expected price in Pakistan
Based on the gap between recent Pro models and the rupee-dollar trend, the iPhone 18 Pro expected price in Pakistan is likely to land around Rs 520,000 to Rs 620,000 for non-PTA units and Rs 600,000 to Rs 720,000 once PTA-approved, depending on storage. The 256GB model should be the cheapest entry point, while the 1TB variant will sit at the top of the range.
Remember that early importer prices are almost always inflated due to limited supply. In past cycles, a Pro iPhone dropped roughly Rs 40,000–80,000 within three to four months of arrival as more stock entered Faisalabad and Karachi markets. If you are price-sensitive, waiting a quarter after launch usually saves real money.

iPhone 18 Pro non-PTA price vs PTA-approved price
The iPhone 18 Pro non-PTA price will be the lowest you see, because it excludes Pakistani duty. A non-PTA set is fine if you only use Wi-Fi or you accept that the SIM slot stops working after the grace period. The moment you want a permanent SIM, you must factor in the tax to make it iPhone 18 Pro PTA approved.
A PTA-approved unit costs more upfront but holds resale value far better and never risks a SIM block. For most buyers in Pakistan who use the phone as a daily driver, paying for PTA approval is the safer long-term choice. Learn more on our PTA approved phones in Faisalabad page.
We break the duty side down further on the iPhone 18 PTA tax guide, which we will keep updating once FBR publishes the official slab for the 18 series.
Expected specs and what changes from the 17 Pro
Current reports describe the clearest picture yet: an A20 Pro chip on a 2nm process (vs 3nm in the A19 Pro), the C2 modem with 5G satellite support, a smaller Dynamic Island thanks to an under-display flood illuminator, LTPO+ display tech for better battery life, and a variable-aperture 48MP main camera. The Pro Max is additionally rumored to get a nearly 10% larger battery in a slightly thicker body.
None of this is officially announced yet, so treat the spec sheet as strong rumor rather than fact. If Apple follows its usual pattern, the biggest real-world gains will be in sustained performance, photography and battery life rather than a dramatic redesign over the 17 Pro.

iPhone price in Faisalabad and the used/resale angle
Tracking iPhone price in Faisalabad matters because local mobile markets often price differently from Lahore or Karachi, and used Pro models here move fast. A brand-new iPhone 18 Pro at over half a million rupees is out of reach for many buyers, which is exactly why the used Pro segment stays strong.
A one-generation-old Pro, such as a clean iPhone 16 Pro or 15 Pro, gives you 90% of the flagship experience at a fraction of the cost. On used iPhones in Faisalabad you can find inspected units with verified PTA status, so you avoid the two biggest risks: hidden faults and a blocked SIM.
When the 18 Pro finally lands, prices of older Pro models usually soften further, making this the smart-money window for value buyers.
Who should wait for the iPhone 18 Pro and who should not
Wait if you must have the newest chip and camera, you are upgrading from a much older iPhone, and your budget comfortably clears Rs 600,000 including PTA tax. For these users the 18 Pro will likely be worth the premium.
Do not wait if you need a phone now, you want maximum value, or the difference between an 18 Pro and a used 16 Pro could fund a year of other expenses. In that case an inspected used Pro today is the rational choice, and you can always upgrade later when prices settle.
Whatever you decide, buying through Mehfoz means every transaction is backed by independent checking. See how Mehfoz inspection and buyer protection reduce your risk.
How Mehfoz protects you when buying any iPhone
Whether you wait for the iPhone 18 Pro or buy a used Pro today, the risk in Pakistan is the same: counterfeit parts, hidden water damage, fake PTA status, and online scams. Mehfoz is built trust-first to remove those risks.
Every featured phone can be physically inspected, its IMEI and PTA status verified, and payment held safely until you confirm the device matches the listing. That is the difference between a hopeful purchase and a protected one, especially at flagship price points.

PTA Tax — What Pakistani Buyers Should Know
- A non-PTA iPhone 18 Pro can use Wi-Fi indefinitely, but the SIM is expected to stop working after roughly a 60-day DIRBS grace period unless registered.
- PTA tax on CNIC is usually higher than on Passport; the Passport route has time and eligibility limits, so confirm your case before importing.
- Estimated PTA tax for current Pro iPhones is around Rs 140,000–170,000 on CNIC and varies with FBR updates — the iPhone 18 Pro is likely similar or higher.
- Always verify IMEI and PTA status on the official DIRBS/PTA system before paying, never on the seller’s word alone.
- PTA-approved units resell faster and at better prices in Pakistan because buyers avoid the blocked-SIM risk.
- Final duty for the iPhone 18 series will only be clear after Apple’s official launch and an FBR/PTA notification.
Final PTA tax for any model should be verified from official PTA/FBR sources once available. We do not claim official PTA tax for unreleased models.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the expected iPhone 18 Pro price in Pakistan?+
The expected iPhone 18 Pro price in Pakistan is around Rs 520,000–620,000 for non-PTA units and Rs 600,000–720,000 once PTA-approved, depending on storage. These are estimates only; the phone is not officially launched and prices may change after launch.
When will the iPhone 18 Pro launch in Pakistan?+
Apple has not confirmed a date, but reports point to an event in the first half of September 2026 with release in the second half. Pakistan availability through importers is likely within weeks of release, in late 2026. Note that the standard iPhone 18 is reportedly delayed to spring 2027.
What colors will the iPhone 18 Pro come in?+
Color leaks conflict. MacRumors expects Light Blue, Dark Gray, Silver and a new Dark Cherry shade, while other leakers claim Coffee, Purple and Burgundy options. Nothing is confirmed until Apple's official announcement.
Will the iPhone 18 Pro be more expensive than the 17 Pro?+
Multiple reports say yes — TrendForce now estimates around $1,399 for the 256GB iPhone 18 Pro (a $200–300 rise), driven by the 2nm A20 Pro chip and memory costs that have roughly tripled the RAM share of the build cost. Kuo also reports supply cuts, meaning early units may sell out and importer premiums in Pakistan could run higher than usual. That is reflected in the estimates on this page.
What is the iPhone 18 Pro non-PTA price?+
The iPhone 18 Pro non-PTA price is expected to be the lowest tier, roughly Rs 520,000–620,000 by storage. A non-PTA set works on Wi-Fi but its SIM is expected to stop after the grace period unless you pay the PTA tax to make it PTA approved.
How much PTA tax will the iPhone 18 Pro have?+
There is no official figure yet. Current Pro iPhones carry roughly Rs 140,000–170,000 PTA tax on CNIC and the 18 Pro is likely similar or higher. Confirm the final slab with FBR/PTA after the official launch.
Is it better to buy a PTA-approved or non-PTA iPhone 18 Pro?+
For a daily-use phone with a permanent SIM, PTA-approved is safer and holds resale value better. Non-PTA suits Wi-Fi-only use or buyers who accept the blocked-SIM risk to save money upfront.
Should I wait for the iPhone 18 Pro or buy now?+
Wait if you need the newest chip and camera and your budget clears Rs 600,000 with tax. If you want value or a phone today, an inspected used iPhone 16 Pro or 15 Pro on Mehfoz gives most of the experience for far less.
Where can I check iPhone prices in Faisalabad?+
Mehfoz tracks used and PTA-approved iPhone prices in Faisalabad. You can browse inspected listings, verify PTA status, and compare value options instead of guessing at unconfirmed flagship prices.
How is the iPhone 18 Pro different from the iPhone 17 Pro?+
Early reports suggest a faster chip, better battery efficiency and camera improvements such as a variable aperture. None of this is confirmed, and the biggest real gains are expected in performance, photography and battery rather than design.
