This year, Apple unveiled the iPhone 15 series, which offers quicker performance and enhanced photography capabilities.
However, given the premium price range, the overall characteristics might not be all that exciting.
Consumers are raising questions about the eye-watering prices of this series, which are made even more exorbitant by the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) tax, despite the fact that it promises superior performance and cutting-edge camera technology.

The iPhone 15 series comes in a variety of configurations to suit different tastes and price ranges.

Tax on Prices of iPhone 15 Series
The implementation of tax, which dramatically raises the price of these high-end gadgets, dampens the excitement surrounding the iPhone 15 series.
Whether the tax is paid on a passport or CNIC (Computerised National Identity Card), the rate changes. The tax for several iPhone 15 models can be seen here:
iPhone 15
Passport: PKR 107,325
CNIC: PKR 130,700
iPhone 15 Plus
Passport: PKR 113,075
CNIC: PKR 137,000
iPhone 15 Pro

CNIC: PKR 147,150
iPhone 15 Pro Max

Potential buyers of the iPhone 15 are suffering a substantial financial hit as a result of these high taxes, which makes the gadgets even more rare.
