Apple has just unveiled three latest smartphones this year. All three of them follow the last year’s iPhone X design. The new phones are dubbed as iPhone XR – the cheapest of the three (not realy cheap though), iPhone XS – the standard model, and iPhone XS Max – larger and expensive model this year.
Considering the pricing factor, iPhone XS is the one which is replacing last year’s iPhone X. The XS Max is an addition to the family for larger screen lovers, whereas the iPhone XR is replacing the both iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus of last year.
iPhone XR has less impressive camera with only a single module on the back. It’s aluminium built and available in big range of colors – six finishes. Replacing the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus of last year, the new iPhone XR is less expensive model launched today. Dubbed as “Liquid Retina HD display” the 6.1-inch screen is simply an LCD display with 1792×828 px resolution at 326 ppi.
iPhone XS and iPhone XS share almost everything but their physical and display sizes. Apple dubs the display of XS and XS Max as “Super Retina HD display”. The 6.5-inch display of XS Max has a resolution of 2688x1242px at 458 ppi, while the iPhone XS has a 5.8-inch display with 2436x1125px. XS also has the same pixel density of 458 ppi. Both have the same dual-camera setup of 12MP wide + 12MP telephoto cameras.
All three are powered by Apple A12 Bionic chip and come with first-ever Dual-SIM slots. It’s a configuration of a nano-SIM + an eSIM.

iPhone XR, XS, and XS Max Prices in Pakistan
Well, they are just announced globally today. You should allow the resellers in Pakistan about one to two months before they bring these new Apple phones for you. However, we can make possible guess of prices in Pakistan as they might be according to previous relative prices.
In previous years, we have noted consistent ~27% higher prices tags of iPhones in Pakistan. With that in mind, you have to spend a lot this year for new iPhones.
- iPhone XR: $950/64GB • $1014/128GB • $1140/256GB
- iPhone XS: $1268/64GB • $1459/256GB • $1713/512GB
- iPhone XS Max: $1395/64GB • $1586/256GB • $1840/512GB
There is another factor, the current currency value of Pakistani Rupee against a US Dollar. If that factor is applied, the least expensive iPhone XR (64GB) will cost you around Rs. 116,000/- and the most expensive iPhone XS Max (512GB) will cost Rs. 226,000/-
Our guess is that the prices will reflect last year’s price models in Pakistani Rupees without involving any currency value. However, you should keep your fingers crossed as if you wanna pay the prices above or the ones below.
- iPhone XR: PKR 99,000/64GB • PKR 106,000/128GB • PKR 119,000/256GB
- iPhone XS: PKR 133,000/64GB • PKR 153,000/256GB • PKR 179,000/512GB
- iPhone XS Max: PKR 146,000/64GB • PKR 166,000/256GB • PKR 193,000/512GB
