Exchange
Mercantile publishes an exchange for an eligible iPhone 11 or newer toward the iPhone 17 series and iPhone Air in major cities, including selected Jazz Experience Centers. The public offer text reviewed for this desk names the 17 series and iPhone Air, not the 18 Pro. Ask before you rely on it for a new Pro.

Bank installments
HBL, Meezan Bank, Bank Alfalah, Faysal Bank, Standard Chartered, Askari Bank, and UBL were named at the iPhone 18 Pro launch. The bank sets eligibility, months, and markup. These are bank plans, not Apple Pay and not Apple Card.

PTA-approved units
The September iPhone 18 Pro launch stock was described as PTA approved by the distributors above. A non-approved import can need DIRBS registration and tax before it works fully on a local SIM. Check pta.gov.pk for the current rule.

Apple ID basics
An Apple ID already gives iMessage, FaceTime, Find My, App Store purchases, and the free 5GB iCloud tier in Pakistan. Those are account features, not a local Apple Store service.
Rolling out
iCloud+
On 15 September 2026 Apple's iCloud+ page was reported with a Pakistan price ladder and a coming-soon line. By 16–18 September, subscribers told local papers they had email: paid plans now include Apple TV and Apple Arcade at the old price, shareable with five family members. Quoted monthly prices: 50GB Rs 200, 200GB Rs 800, 2TB Rs 2,500, 6TB Rs 8,900, 12TB Rs 17,900. Confirm the live number in Settings.
Rolling out
Apple TV and Apple Arcade
Local reporting from 16 September says these now come with paid iCloud+ rather than as separate Pakistan subscriptions. The catalog and features can be thinner than in the US. Playback problems were reported in earlier partial tests, so open the app after subscribing and check that video actually plays.
Reported, not a Pakistan launch
Apple Music Select
The 100-country iCloud+ announcement, which named Pakistan, also described Apple Music Select: ad-free curated stations, not the full on-demand catalog. Pakistani coverage of the subscriber emails emphasized TV and Arcade. Count Select as reported with that bundle, and check the app for what your Apple ID actually unlocked.
Reported, not a Pakistan launch
Apple Music as its own plan
August 2026 coverage of Apple Pay code also said a Pakistan Apple Music plan around Rs 379 a month had been charged on a PayPak card. That is a report about a charge, not a rate card you should budget from. The price can move.
Reported, not a Pakistan launch
Apple One for new subscribers
Secondary reports on the iCloud+ bundle said new Apple One sign-ups stopped in the countries that moved, Pakistan included, while existing Apple One subscribers keep their plan. Your Apple ID subscription screen is the record that matters.
Not offered in Pakistan
Apple Pay
Not announced. In August 2026, PayPak strings were reported inside iOS 27, which is how Apple has prepared other countries. A code string is not a launch. Anyone selling “Apple Pay Pakistan” today is not selling Apple Pay.
Not offered in Pakistan
Apple Card and Apple Cash
These are not Pakistan consumer products. A bank installment on an iPhone is a bank loan or a card plan. It does not become Apple Card because the phone is an iPhone.
Not offered in Pakistan
Apple Store and Genius Bar
Apple does not run its own retail store in Pakistan. Genius Bar service, the Today at Apple sessions, and Apple's own trade-in at an Apple Store are not on offer here. Local authorized service is Mercantile Care.
Not offered in Pakistan
AppleCare+
This desk has not seen AppleCare+ sold as its own Pakistan product. The named covers on the September launch are SHIELD+ and the Mercantile Protection Plan. Those are distributor programs. Read their terms. Do not assume they match AppleCare+ in another country.
Reported iCloud+ prices
Quoted from Apple's Pakistan iCloud+ page in mid-September 2026 coverage. Subscriber emails on 16–18 September said TV and Arcade were being added at these prices. Read the number in your own Settings before you subscribe.
