Yesterday i was reading about bugs in iOS specially in iphone 12 and now it has spread to all other iphone about failure of sending messages means u send it but its not delivered similarly someone else sends you and u don't actually receive it
Not on messages but WhatsApp etc as well
Similarly problems with calling as well
I m asking because if i buy iphone xr should I update it to latest iOS or not?

I saw some of the members discussing shops in above posts. I'd also like to share one.
A good and trustable shop to buy old / new phones: HF Smartphones in Lahore:
https://www.facebook.com/H.F.phones/
These guys also post on OLX sometimes.
They are good and honest. Prices might be a little high but fairly competitive. You will be satisfied from your purchase, I bought OnePlus Nord from them recently and they give what they say they are giving which is actually pretty difficult to get nowadays.

I called then 2 weeks ago looking for a oneplus 7t they were selling for 70k and asked whether it was pta approved but they told me it wasn't. I called then again after checking their Facebook page that mentioned pta with the phone signaling it was pta approved, they then said yes it is. I went to their shop and then they said it was a patched imei. Don't know why they'd misguide me but I ended up getting a 7t with warranty from Hafeez Centre instead.

Yep, they refer patched IMEIs phone with 'PTA' and the legally approved ones as 'Officially PTA Approved' ones, idk, why not just say Non-PTA.

Since you have highlighted this PTA issue, another user once reported similar experience that he mistook patched IMEI phone as legal one and bought from them. There are cases like these but rare mostly because consumer did not pay much attention.

So, no matter how honest shopkeepers are or known to be, just be vigilant when buying in 'Islamic Republic of Pakistan'.

What is PTA approval charges/tax for iphone XR?
Please respond if u r sure

[Hassan1991]

For iPhone 11 pro it was about 44k. Will be close to it.

[crossfirex]

XR is now less than $500
And max tax slab is 40392/- it can't be 44000

[Hassan1991]

I didn't said it will be 44k. My bad if it looks like.
You can ask mobile phone shops they usually know exact value.

[asharab.butt]

7t price?

I got for 83k complete box and 8 months official warranty

[k-four-nine]

i guess this discount was just in December 2020 , on some mobile sets of samsung in Carfour and Metro in Lahore ,

Iphone XR 64 and 256gb tax checked through IMEI both have rs 40392/- tax
A tax of around 90k mobile equivalent to a 1300 cc car costing 20 plus lacs. What a nonsense
