The sale of smartphones via grey market channels continues unabated in the country. It is estimated that over thousands of phones are illegally sold in various parts of the country year after year.
There are reports that the government intends to make phones sold via grey market inoperable. Plus these phones don’t come with value added services such as warranty, repairing, etc.
Should Apple iPhone fans be Worried?
For Apple iPhone fans, this represents a huge challenge. Apple Inc’s products continue to rule the hearts and minds of many Pakistanis. They are considered as a huge investment, and rightly so. iPhone owners need to know if their products will continue to run flawlessly as ever and with the peace of mind that genuine after sales services provide.
They need not worry anymore. Muller & Phipps will be bringing the latest iOS mobile devices (such as the iPhone X and iPhone 8) to Pakistan.
And what’s more, as an authorized distributor for Apple Inc products in Pakistan, they will also offer warranty claims, after sales services, and accessories for the Apple-phile.
Keeping in mind the starting price of the iPhone X ($1000 in the US), it is prudent for Apple fans to opt for products from authorized distributors and resellers in Pakistan.
Approved by PTA
For complete peace of mind and uninterrupted operation of your mobile phones, it is recommended that people should not go for phones sold from the grey market.
Muller and Phipps products from Apple Inc, especially the iPhone X and iPhone 8, will be registered with the PTA, ensuring flawless operation with Pakistani telecoms operators right out of the box.
As per PTA, only mobile phones with IMEIs that meet the following conditions will be allowed to function in Pakistan:
- sets that are imported legally,
- sets that are approved by PTA,
- sets that are registered against a valid CNIC.
More than 59% of the mobile sets in the market are sold via grey market channels
So make the right choice today. Opt for the best with Muller and Phipps.
I Bought iPhone 7 Plus 128 GB (Black, Non Activated) for 115,000/- from Jinnah Super Islamabad, Just a month after its official release, While it was available in US for $849 at that time.

Yeh subka bill bi to aapke khaate mai aane hain G
Sai kaha
$849 price is only available in USA, all other country have there own tax, even you did not get iphone in same price in UK as it is in USA.
iPhone X price in US is $999 so equal to around 3750 Saudi Riyals but here all stores are selling at 4400 Saudi Riyals.
if you buy from Unistore Apple Store Apple iPhone 7 Plus 128GB the price is 105,000.00

They do not manufacture any medicines but they are one of the largest medicine distributors and own large warehouses for flawless supply chain.

If it’s true and M&P sold iPhones here in Pakistan in official price (like $999 to $1,149 for iPhone X) then I’ll be first to buy iPhone X from them.
Why there’s no facetime on iphones sold in PK? is it blocked by PTA?
because they are importing from UAE not China directly.
no they are importing from Singapore but the Restriction of Pakistan Telecommunication Authority on Face Time App .
The model is Arabian one not Asian one
They are just importing uae model
the last sentence is a tell tale sign. it is a paid-for article without appropriate tags.
And the info contained therein, concerning PTA policies, is misleading. All IMEI carrying equipment must get PTA’s type approval. It does not mean that every IMEI needs to be registered first. Only a given make + model needs to be type approved and it can be sold afterwards freely by anyone.
Perhaps i will write an article some day, based upon the policy published on PTA’s website, which is actually a law published in official gazette of Pakistan. The objective will be to separate fact from fiction.
Can you please provide reference to the law published in the Gazette?
hahaha the one without facetime?
Who is using facetime? Very few peoples. For me having facetime or not is not that much important.
I dont want a crippled iOS.
Absolutely useless to buy from M&P as prices will be much above market in the name of ‘warranty’ and the idiotic absence of FaceTime makes this a zero value proposition.
Facetime issue
only create by the shop kepper
no its issue from PTA not a shopkeeper.
Koi faida nai… It will not have FaceTime…
