Apple iPhone XS

The Apple iPhone Xs, released on September 21, 2018, is an officially discontinued model and now available as a used kit phone in Pakistan. The PTA-approved price is Rs. 75,000, while the non-PTA price is Rs. 50,000.

While the iPhone Xs was a premium phone at the time of release, it may no longer be the best choice in 2025:

1. Outdated performance: The A12 chip and 4GB RAM struggle with modern apps and multitasking, slowing down the user experience.

2. Limited software support: The iPhone Xs will soon lose access to the latest iOS updates, reducing compatibility with newer apps and features.

Better alternatives in this price range include the iPhone 11 or iPhone SE (2nd Gen), which provide better performance, newer chips, and longer software support. Android alternatives like the Samsung Galaxy A52 or Google Pixel 4a also offer improved specs, better value, and smoother performance.

Specs Overview:
The iPhone Xs comes with a 5.8-inch OLED display, Apple A12 Bionic chipset, 4GB RAM, and storage options of 64GB, 256GB, or 512GB. It features a 12MP main camera and a 2658mAh battery, offering good performance when released but now outdated compared to modern smartphones.
