In recent years, prices of Apple phones have seen a sharp increase amid the depreciation of the rupee, changes in import policies, and taxes imposed by the government.
The government has also introduced new regulations and taxes on imported mobile phones, including customs duty, regulatory duty, sales tax and federal excise duty, which have contributed to the price increase while the global increase in prices of electronic components has also affected the cost of mobile phones in Pakistan.
The above factors contributed to the emergence of older generation models such as iPhone 12. The PTA tax was imposed to regulate the import and use of mobile phones, combat illegal importation, and enhance national security.
