Best Used iPhones Under Rs. 100,000 in Pakistan (2026)

Under Rs. 100,000 you can get a genuinely capable iPhone that will receive software updates through 2026 and beyond. The range includes some strong value picks and a few traps. Here is what to buy and what to skip.

Prices are current PTA-approved used market rates on OLX Pakistan as of mid-2026. All green line and Face ID checks below should be done in-person before paying.

• iPhone 12 Is the Pick — Here Is Why

Buy it. The A14 Bionic still handles everything without hesitation in 2026. OLED display, 5G, MagSafe, dual cameras with Night Mode, and Apple updates likely through 2026–2027. For under Rs. 82,000 PTA-approved, this is one of the best value propositions in the entire used market — not just the iPhone segment.

The green line issue is real for some iPhone 12 units. Before paying, open the camera app and navigate to a solid white page. Look closely at the left edge of the display for a faint vertical green line. If visible, negotiate Rs. 8,000 off or walk away. Apple’s out-of-warranty screen replacement runs Rs. 28,000.

Check battery health at Settings → Battery → Battery Health. Anything below 82% will affect your day noticeably. Battery replacement costs Rs. 8,000–12,000 at a reputable Hafeez Centre shop. If health is at 78–81%, factor this into your price negotiation rather than walking away entirely — a fresh battery brings the phone back to near-new performance.

For the budget buyer: the iPhone 11 at Rs. 56,000–65,000 is the alternative. The A13 Bionic is still quick. Dual cameras work well. But this is a 2019 phone and Apple’s support window is closing. At Rs. 56,000 it is good value; at Rs. 65,000, stretch for the iPhone 12 if possible.

If you are buying non-PTA, the PTA tax calculator will show the exact registration cost for the model you are considering. Factor that into your total before agreeing on any price.

The Rest of the Range, Honestly Ranked

• iPhone 12 Pro — Rs. 88,000–98,000

Buy if the camera system matters to you specifically. The 12 Pro adds a telephoto lens and LiDAR scanner over the standard 12. Night mode portraits in indoor settings are noticeably better. If you photograph people at family gatherings or in dim light regularly, the difference is real and worth the Rs. 15,000–18,000 premium over the standard 12.

At the top of this range, the gap to a used iPhone 13 (currently Rs. 105,000–115,000) is small enough that it is worth checking prices before committing.

• iPhone XS Max — Rs. 52,000–60,000

Cautious buy. The 6.5-inch OLED screen is beautiful. Face ID is fast and reliable. The A12 Bionic handles daily tasks without issues. But Apple dropped iOS 17 support for this model. Security patch

es continue on iOS 16, but the software gap widens every year. At Rs. 52,000 with solid battery health, it is acceptable. At Rs. 60,000, buy an iPhone 11 instead.

• iPhone 13 mini — Rs. 92,000–100,000

Buy if and only if the compact size is what you want. The A15 Bionic, OIS camera, and meaningfully improved battery make this a strong phone. At under Rs. 100,000 PTA-approved, it is correctly priced. The audience is narrow — most Pakistani buyers prefer larger screens. But for single-hand use and genuine pocketability, nothing at this price comes close.

Face ID on any used iPhone: unlock with your face ten times in quick succession. If it fails three or more times, Face ID has been degraded — usually from a screen replacement using a non-Apple panel. There is no software fix. Walk away or negotiate significantly downward. Before any meeting to inspect a used iPhone, go through the 30-point used phone checklist so you cover every check systematically under pressure.
