Karachi — In a shocking turn of events, the price of iPhones in Pakistan could skyrocket to an unprecedented Rs 1 million as a result of new trade tariffs introduced under former U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration. The move has already sent shockwaves through the tech industry, with experts predicting severe consequences for tech consumers in Pakistan.
The tariffs, imposed on electronics imported from China, have created a ripple effect on the global supply chain, forcing manufacturers to pass on the increased costs to consumers. Pakistan, a country that heavily relies on imports, is likely to experience substantial price hikes for premium smartphones, especially Apple’s flagship products.
Economists have expressed concern that if the tariffs remain in place, the prices for high-end iPhones could breach the Rs 1 million mark, making them unaffordable for the majority of Pakistani consumers. This could lead to a drop in iPhone sales, with many potential buyers opting for more affordable alternatives.
