Affordable iPhone 16 Pro Max Under PTA’s Device Financing Scheme
The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) has approved Apple’s upcoming iPhone 16 Pro Max under its Device Identification, Registration, and Blocking System (DIRBS). Surprisingly, customers can get the latest flagship for just Rs. 28,064 for six months through easy installment plans.
How Does the Financing Plan Work?
The PTA’s DIRBS scheme allows buyers to pay a small upfront cost and then make monthly payments over six months. This makes high-end smartphones like the iPhone 16 Pro Max more accessible to Pakistani consumers.
- Initial Payment: Rs. 28,064
- Remaining Balance: Paid in installments over six months
Why Is This a Big Deal?
The iPhone 16 Pro Max is expected to be one of the most expensive smartphones of 2024, with a global retail price likely exceeding $1,200 (approx. Rs. 340,000+ in Pakistan). The PTA’s installment plan significantly reduces the financial burden, allowing more people to own Apple’s latest flagship.
Eligibility and Registration Process
To avail this offer, users must:
- Register their device with PTA’s DIRBS.
- Provide valid identification (CNIC/NICOP).
- Choose a participating telecom operator for installment payments.
Potential Challenges
While the scheme makes the iPhone 16 Pro Max more affordable, some concerns remain:
- Limited stock availability due to high demand.
- Strict eligibility criteria for financing approval.
- Possible price adjustments based on taxes and import policies.
Final Thoughts
The PTA’s approval of the iPhone 16 Pro Max under its financing scheme is a major step toward making premium smartphones more accessible in Pakistan. With an initial payment of just Rs. 28,064, tech enthusiasts can now consider owning Apple’s latest flagship without paying the full price upfront.
