The Four New Models and Their Prices
The new series features four exciting models. You have the standard iPhone 17, the more advanced iPhone 17 Pro, the ultimate flagship iPhone 17 Pro Max, and the new, super-slim iPhone Air.
Starting with the iPhone 17, the 256 GB model is priced at PKR 399,000, while the 512 GB version is PKR 482,500. Stepping up to the iPhone Air, the 256 GB variant costs PKR 480,000, going up to PKR 646,500 for the massive 1 TB storage.

Design, Power, and Performance Upgrades
The entire series sports Apple’s signature premium look, now enhanced with Ceramic Shield 2 for better durability and an IP68 rating for excellent water and dust resistance. Say goodbye to the old charger because all models now feature the universal USB-C port. The screens are stunning, with sizes ranging from 6.3 inches to a huge 6.9 inches on the Pro Max. They all feature a smooth 1–120Hz adaptive refresh rate (called ProMotion), making everything from scrolling social media to playing heavy games feel buttery smooth. Powering the phones is the next generation of Apple chips: the standard iPhone 17 runs on the A19 Bionic chip, while the Air and Pro models get the even faster A19 Pro chip, ensuring top-notch speed and efficiency.
Camera and Battery Highlights
Apple has focused heavily on mobile photography. All phones feature an improved 18MP front camera with Center Stage to keep you perfectly framed during video calls. The Pro models take it further with dedicated telephoto lenses for amazing zoom and the ability to record cinema-quality 4K video at 120 frames per second. Battery life has also seen a huge improvement. The Pro Max offers an incredible endurance of up to 39 hours on a single charge, while even the slim iPhone Air manages a solid 27 hours. All models naturally support both fast charging and MagSafe wireless charging.
With official warranties, PTA approval, and incredible upgrades in power and battery life, the new iPhone 17 series is a massive launch for the Pakistani market. Are you considering upgrading to one of these new models?
