Therefore, tax applies to all imported mobile phones in the region. The continuous increase in PTA taxes is the currency rate depreciation and low reserves in the  State Bank of Pakistan. This initiative can help lower Pakistan imports,, which will assist in stabilizing the economy.

Though, this step has caused discouragement in the purchase of new mobile phones like the iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max. Because the taxes are continuously increasing, making them too expensive for middle-income buyers. Furthermore, it created a social gap between the social classes in Pakistan, where costly smartphones have become a symbol of wealth for all.
