In a groundbreaking move, Jazz, Pakistan’s leading digital operator, has partnered with Mercantile, Apple’s authorized distributor in Pakistan, to introduce the country’s first-ever iPhone Trade-In Program. This initiative aims to make the upcoming iPhone 16 series more affordable and accessible to consumers.
How the Trade-In Program Works
Customers can trade in their old PTA-approved iPhone 11 or newer models to receive a discount on the latest iPhone 16 series. Additionally, Jazz and Mercantile are offering an extra subsidy bonus on top of the trade-in value, making the upgrade even more cost-effective.
Ali Fahd, Head of Marketing at Jazz, emphasized the program’s goal:
“As a digital leader, Jazz is committed to bridging the digital divide in Pakistan. Our partnership with Mercantile reflects our focus on innovation and customer convenience, making premium devices more accessible and enhancing digital lifestyles.”
Nauman Durrani, CEO of Mercantile Pakistan, also highlighted the benefits:
“This program simplifies how people in Pakistan can access the latest iPhone models. By working with Jazz, we’re providing a seamless and transparent way for customers to upgrade their devices for a superior experience.”
Availability & Additional Benefits
The trade-in program is currently available at Jazz Experience Centers in Lahore, Islamabad, and Karachi, with more details accessible on Mercantile’s website. However, the offer applies only to full-price purchases and is not available on postpaid installment plans at this stage.
To further enhance customer value, Jazz is offering an exclusive six-month bundle for those purchasing a PTA-approved iPhone 16 through its platform. This includes:
? 200GB of internet
? 6 months of free airtime
? e-SIM activation
? Discount vouchers
? Handset insurance worth up to Rs. 100,000, covering theft, loss, and damage for six months.
Additionally, Jazz is providing the iPhone 16 series on an 18-month installment plan for postpaid customers, offering flexible payment solutions to cater to different financial needs.
By pioneering this initiative, Jazz continues to drive digital inclusion, ensuring that individuals and businesses have access to the latest technology to stay ahead in an increasingly connected world.
