The registration cost of the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max in Iran has reached 190 million tomans. The head of the Tehran Telecommunications Devices Union stated that applicants are required to pay this cost to receive an activation code and legalize their device.
Current state of the mobile phone market
The head of the Tehran Telecommunications Devices Union, referring to the impacts of currency fluctuations, restrictions on orders, and issues in the import process, analyzed the current state of the smartphone market. He expressed that these conditions have led to an increase in registration costs and a decrease in applicants' access to new phone models.
The future of the market and hope for improvement
Sadat Hosseini also emphasized the importance of resuming orders and expressed hope that by facilitating the import process and supplying new phones, demand pressure would decrease. He added that these measures could help reduce prices and improve the supply and demand situation in the market.
In mid-September of this year, the head of the Mobile Importers Association announced the resumption of mobile phone import orders. He explained that the registration of mobile phone imports had been halted since the beginning of the year, and most of the phones imported into the country were related to orders from last year that had been registered and currency secured before the end of Esfand. This information highlights the existing challenges in the mobile phone market and the necessity of adopting appropriate measures to manage this situation.
