iPhone 18 Pro Max price in Pakistan: Rs 605,000 official, iPhone 18 Pro Rs 565,000
Mercantile has launched both phones officially, PTA approved with a two-year warranty. Here is what you pay, what you get and how to weigh a non-PTA set.

Mercantile, Apple's authorised distributor in Pakistan, launched the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max officially on 24 September 2026. The launch prices are Rs 565,000 for the iPhone 18 Pro and Rs 605,000 for the iPhone 18 Pro Max. These are official, PTA-approved sets, so you pay no PTA tax on top and the phone works on every network from day one.
iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max price in Pakistan
| Model | Official price (Mercantile) | Screen | Video playback |
|---|---|---|---|
| iPhone 18 Pro | Rs 565,000 | 6.3-inch OLED | up to 36 hours |
| iPhone 18 Pro Max | Rs 605,000 | 6.9-inch OLED | up to 45 hours |
Mercantile's announcement quotes one price per model and does not give a price for each storage size. Apple sells both phones in 256GB, 512GB, 1TB and 2TB, so ask the seller which capacity the quoted price covers before you pay.
The Pro Max costs Rs 40,000 more than the Pro. For that you get a bigger screen and, by Apple's own figures, about nine more hours of video playback.
What you get with the official set
- PTA approved: no registration fee, no DIRBS block, no 90-day grace period to worry about.
- Two-year warranty from Mercantile.
- Mercantile Protection Plan: one free repair for a cracked front screen, cracked back glass or liquid damage.
- Installments through HBL, Meezan Bank, Bank Alfalah, Faysal Bank, Standard Chartered, Askari Bank and UBL. Tenure and markup depend on the bank, so ask yours for the full cost before you sign.
The phones are sold through Mercantile's preferred retail partners across the country and through Jazz, Zong and PTCL.
Official or non-PTA: what the gap looks like
A phone brought in from Dubai or the US looks cheaper at the counter, but it has to be registered with PTA and the tax on a phone in this price range is large. Before you buy a non-PTA iPhone 18 Pro Max, run the numbers in our PTA mobile tax calculator and add that to the dirham or dollar price at today's dirham rate or dollar rate. If the total comes close to Rs 605,000, the official set, with its local warranty, is the better buy.
Specs in brief
Both phones run Apple's A20 Pro chip and carry the 48MP Pro Fusion camera system. With a 60W adapter they charge to 50% in about 15 minutes, Apple says, and MagSafe wireless charging runs up to 25W.
Paying in installments: work it out first
At Rs 605,000, a 12-month plan with no down payment works out to about Rs 50,400 a month before any markup or processing fee. Use our personal loan calculator with your bank's rate to see the real monthly figure, and compare it with paying cash.
