A user showed interest, wondering, "Also mention what the price is in China and America." Another one posted, "It's all taxes."
Apple’s latest iPhone 17 series is officially available for purchase in markets, and while Indian fans were lining up outside Apple Stores in Mumbai’s BKC and Delhi’s Saket to grab their shiny new device, social media had its eyes elsewhere. A viral post on X revealed the jaw-dropping price tags of the iPhone 17 lineup in Pakistan, and let’s just say, the Internet is stunned.
As per an X user, Apple enthusiasts from across the border will have to pay between PKR 3.65 lakh (Rs 1.14 lakh) and PKR 5.74 lakh (Rs 1.79 lakh) for the iPhone Pro Max (Rs 1.70 lakh) to take their newly released device home.
