Apple Type-C Handsfree Price in Pakistan (iPhone 15, 16, 17, iPad & Mac)
Quick answer: A 100% original Apple Type-C handsfree (the USB-C EarPods) in Pakistan is 5,499. Master copies sell for 1,500 to 3,500 and are not genuine. The original Type-C EarPods work with the iPhone 15, 16, and 17 series, USB-C iPads, and the latest Macs.
Apple’s Type-C handsfree is the newest wired EarPods, and right now it is the most searched and most copied of the lot in Pakistan. Most “original” Type-C handsfree sold cheap is a master copy. The real challenge for buyers is not just copy vs original, it is also knowing which kind of original stock you are paying for, because sellers often hide which one they are selling. So know all three before you pay.
Three kinds of Type-C handsfree stock in Pakistan
“Apple Type-C handsfree,” also sold as the USB-C EarPods, can mean three very different things in the market. Know them before you pay.
1. Master copy (replica). Non-Apple copies built to look like the original, often sold as “original” or “China original.” Cheapest and most common in local shops and on Daraz and OLX. The sound, mic, and build are weaker, and there is no real warranty. Even the best master copy is still a copy.
2. Imported (direct import). Genuine Apple units brought in privately in small lots, sold mostly through online stores. The unit is 100% original. It carries Apple’s international warranty, which cannot be claimed inside Pakistan, so it is cheaper than the GNext or Mercantile stock but still fully genuine.
3. GNext or Mercantile stock (official distributors). Genuine Apple units brought in by GNext and Mercantile, who are Apple distributors in Pakistan for a limited range of Apple items. This stock comes with their own warranty that can be claimed at their dealers across Pakistan. It is the safest for after-sales cover, and the most expensive.
So a master copy is a copy at any price. Imported is original and cheaper but with no local claim. GNext or Mercantile is original with a local warranty you can actually use.
Apple Type-C handsfree price in Pakistan
These are average market rates from our own survey and sample orders. Use them as a guide; prices move.
| Stock type | Price range (PKR) |
|---|---|
| Master copy (replica) | 1,500 to 3,500 |
| Imported (original, mostly online) | 5,500 to 7,000 |
| GNext / Mercantile (original, local warranty) | 9,500 to 11,000 |
One thing to know about GNext and Mercantile stock: the company price is around 8,500, but nobody actually sells it at that. By the time it reaches you it is 9,500 to 11,000. So if a shop asks 9,500 or more for GNext or Mercantile stock, that is the normal market rate, not the shop cheating you. Still, compare a few sellers before paying.
Warranty: ask these questions before you buy
This is the step where most Type-C handsfree buyers get fooled, so go slow here.
Many sellers keep both imported stock and GNext or Mercantile stock and sell them mixed, without telling the customer which one they are actually handing over. Worse, a lot of sellers stick fake GNext or Mercantile warranty labels on their own imported stock to justify a higher price, even though that stock has no local warranty at all.
So before you buy, do not trust a sticker. Ask the seller these directly:
- Is there a warranty on this unit, and for how long?
- Is it GNext or Mercantile stock, or imported stock?
- Can the warranty be claimed at any GNext or Mercantile dealer, or only at this shop?
Remember one thing: real GNext or Mercantile stock can be claimed at their dealers in any city of Pakistan, not only at the shop you bought it from. When the seller answers, you will know which stock you are getting and if the warranty is real. If the seller is not clear, take it as imported stock with no warranty, and pay only the imported price for it.
Apple Type-C handsfree price in Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad
Where you buy changes the price of the original stock, and because sellers mix imported and GNext or Mercantile stock, the range you see is wide. Roughly:
- Karachi: 5,500 to 7,000 (usually the cheapest)
- Lahore: 6,500 to 8,000
- Islamabad: 10,000 to 12,500 (usually the most expensive)
So the same Type-C handsfree can cost thousands more in Islamabad than in Karachi. If you are in a pricier city, the gap is partly the city and partly which stock you are being sold, which is exactly why the warranty questions above matter so much.
Which devices the Apple Type-C handsfree works with
Before the price, know that it fits your device. The Type-C (USB-C) EarPods work with:
- iPhone 15 series, iPhone 16 series, and iPhone 17 series (all USB-C iPhones)
- USB-C iPads: iPad Pro, iPad Air, iPad mini, and the standard iPad with a USB-C port
- Latest Macs with USB-C ports
- USB-C Android phones and laptops as well
If your phone still uses Lightning (iPhone 14 and older), this is not your handsfree; you need the Lightning version instead.
