In the dynamic world of technology, where newer Apple models like the iPhone 15 are capturing attention, the steadfast iPhone 11 series remains a popular choice among tech enthusiasts in Pakistan and beyond. Renowned for their robust hardware, seamless compatibility, and the trusted iOS interface, the iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Pro Max continue to dominate the flagship segment.

Despite the emergence of newer models, the iPhone 11 series boasts a durable build, high performance, and consistent software updates, making it a preferred option for many. The iPhone 11, featuring a Liquid Retina HD display, dual-camera system, and powered by the A13 Bionic chip, remains a reliable choice with 4K video recording capabilities and a third-generation Neural Engine for enhanced efficiency.

However, acquiring these devices comes at a cost, with various taxes imposed by authorities, including customs duties, sales tax, and withholding tax. The tax rates vary based on factors such as the smartphone’s value and type.

For the iPhone 11 Pro Max, the PTA tax in 2024 stands at Rs. 96,900, while the iPhone 11 incurs a tax of Rs. 67,300 on the Passport. On the CNIC front, the iPhone 11 Pro Max attracts a tax of Rs. 119,100, with the iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Pro incurring taxes of Rs. 86,700 and Rs. 115,150, respectively.

As consumers navigate through the smartphone market, these tax rates play a crucial role in the overall cost of ownership. Despite the allure of newer models, the enduring popularity of the iPhone 11 series is a testament to Apple’s commitment to delivering reliable and high-performance devices to its loyal user base.
