I’ll have some of that fantastic crack these guys were smoking before they decided to price these.
They are the only ones offering it as far as I know, so can’t really blame them for selling it as they please.
Afridi Naswaaar!!! maraa.. :)
Very expensive..
Aghar Itna ka ufone sa hi lena ha tu is sa acha tu eh ha ka banda market sa la.
Ufone ko tu is tarha ki product on simple installment par deni chayea.
Phar yaha tu sab Companies awam ko loot rahi ha.
telecom opreators ko yeh device lock kar ka monthly installment par deni chayeya.
Market se ye aap ko Warranty k saath nahi mile ga.
Just Check These Pic ….
Phir Ap Fasalah Kara …..
Match Ufone Price With Apple Original Price.
may be this is because UFONE included hidden CHARGES for the 3 month internet service for which saying ” FREE ” … :)
Yeah, you forgot to add the customs charges and the sales tax these guys need to pay when importing and selling these.
These aren’t meant for the average Pakistani. They are targeted at the high-end consumers who pay way more [without official support] for such devices when they buy them from abroad and get them imported.
Custom duty and Sales taxes is 40% of the price???
Yes, around that figure.
Good info. However these prices quoted are without tax. Knowingly I can assure that you have to add 14.2% tax (VAT and Others) and 12$ per piece shipping charges. For iPad Air2 (wi-fi plus cellular) the price comes to 729 $. Then there is 15.28% sales tax in Pakistan and final price would be 840$. That comes to 85485 Pak rupees. So honestly Ufone isn’t charging more. And yes the iPads imported through illegal ways are available at cheap rate. But remember they are illegal and without any warranty. :)
Does Ufone seriously think that people are going to buy these devices from them?
Anyway.
In one word; Yes. People will buy these from them.
For people who can afford Apple products, this a really good deal.
in pakistan an average well off person earns from 50,000 to 1 lac! u are asking him to get something like this by paying one month of his salary! how exactly is he suposed to pay for the rest of his bills
Apple products are not for an average well off Pakistani person! They’ve positioned themselves as a premium product which only the spoiled rich brats can afford!
u r right in this that in pakistan it is only for the rich clientele! especially the macbooks
Is that what you think when you see Apple users around you? That they are spoiled rich brats???
That says MUCH about your mentality, my friend. Not so much about the Apple users.
Yes, this is what i think when i see Apple users around me.
Yes, it says MUCH about my mentality, my friend. Not so much about the Apple users.
I am reminded of nothing more than Aesop’s story, The Fox and the Grapes.
STFU & Buy A Linux Phone xD
No one uses a Linux phone. Android phones are not Linux phones.
There Is A Linux Phone,
Ubuntu Phone??
Yeah? Who uses it? No one.
You Should Use It Dumbass
Android is Linux based
So is my DSL router, doesn’t mean much.
Technically, that is a linux phone.. just how your router has linux -_-
lol! when someone is using a macbook! that fires up my jealousy thou! i would buy one soon:)
Macbooks are actually cheap. Let me tell you how I know:
You can buy a used 2012 Macbook for more than half the original price.
Meaning if in 2-3 years the price has still not fallen 50% then it is way cheaper than buying a cheaper Windows laptop every 3-4 years.
Dear Abdul Jabbar, brother it’s not the way to address your fellows. You have the ones who have more than you and then you have many many more for whom reaching at your stage is like a dream. Let’s not be rude. Kindly don’t call your fellow brothers like that. Apple products are undoubtedly loveable and many have bought them after saving for months. It’s like a now a days dream for many as was buying a bike – long time ago. Others have money to afford it. But that’s what status Allah SWT has given to them. Let’s not indulge into unnecessary fights.
These aren’t meant for the average Pakistani. They are targeted at the high-end consumers who pay way more [without official support] for such devices when they buy them from abroad and get them imported.
Apple products are never meant for the average citizen; whether he be an American, Pakistani or a European.
you are wrong in saying that it isnt meant for an average american european and chinese! low paid workers in these countries can even buy these since it is priced accordingly! in US for example the lowest pay is around 2000 dollars, a janitor makes that much! so he can easily afford it! in pakistan a manager makes 1 lac, but since our currency is so weak, it is not strong enough for us to buy a US product
Janitor 2000$????? Which state and place mate? And I serve with people earning way more. Average 3-4K. Still unaffordable unless you buy a plan. Plan free – no one buys even in US. DAMN EXPENSIVE. While here we all have to buy plan free.
Plan free is damn expensive everywhere.

Hope that clarifies for people claiming higher prices being charged.
Who says FaceTime is restricted? I use iMessage and FaceTime every day. On Warid LTE and PTCL broadband. What are Ufone guys talking about?
