What specification Iphone 15 will have?
Rumors are swirling around potential changes in the upcoming iPhone 15 models, including the speculation that Apple might replace the traditional lightning port with a USB-C connection.

What will be the PTA tax on new Iphone 15?
Shifting our focus to the expected pricing of the iPhone 15 series in Pakistan, factors suggest a potential increase in PTA tax. This adjustment could be attributed to several reasons. Presently, the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) imposes taxes on cell phones based on their assessed monetary value within the existing taxation framework.

Consequently, larger phones with higher monetary values attract elevated PTA taxes. The recent tax reduction announcement by the FBR has brought the highest PTA tax for iPhone 14 Pro models to Rs 131,000 for passport holders and Rs 156,000 for CNIC users.
Taking into account the projected $100 price rise in the upcoming iPhone 15 series, our estimation places the highest PTA tax for these models at approximately Rs 150,000 for passport holders and around Rs 170,000 for CNIC holders.
What could be the price of iPhone 15 in Pakistan?
The launch of the iPhone 15 Pro is expected to see an initial price point of approximately Rs 500,000 in Pakistan.
As for the official launch date of the new iPhone 15 series, Apple’s significant announcement event is projected to take place on September 13. Clues from mobile carriers, as reported by 9To5Mac, suggest that staff members are being discreetly advised to keep September 13 free from any prior engagements due to a major smartphone launch event. This subtle hint points toward a significant development in the smartphone realm on that specific day.
Moreover, considering Apple’s consistent tradition of hosting its annual fall launch events in September, the likelihood of the company adhering to this schedule is high. If this timing proves accurate, Apple is poised to unveil its official announcement in the upcoming weeks or even days.
