The new Pro models are available in four finishes: black, silver, glacier and burgundy. Apple began availability of the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max on September 18.
With Apple yet to establish its own retail store in Pakistan, authorised distributors and their retail partners remain the main official channels for purchasing PTA-approved iPhones. The market also includes independently imported devices, whose prices can differ depending on import costs, taxes and other charges.
Buyers looking for official units are advised to verify the retailer’s authorised status, PTA approval and warranty coverage before purchasing.
