The next-gen Apple iPhone 18 Pro Max has already created quite a stir in South Asia! Despite Apple not yet having released any officially confirmed price points for the device, the speculation surrounding it, based on various leaks as well as other market conditions, has shown me a good idea of what I can expect to pay here in Bangladesh.
As noted above, according to early indications, the entry-level version of the new iPhone 18 Pro Max may retail for somewhere around BDT 147,000.
This is still just an unofficial estimate, though; the actual price could differ due to things such as taxes, tariffs/ import duties, etc. In addition, since the new iPhone 18 Pro Max comes with multiple memory configurations, the price for each configuration will naturally not be the same.
City-wise Expected Price Breakdown
Prices in Bangladesh often differ slightly depending on availability, grey market supply, and retailer margins.
City Name | Expected Price | Other Remarks |
| Dhaka | BDT 1,47,000 – BDT 1,60,000 | Being the capital, Dhaka usually gets early stock and competitive pricing. |
| Chittagong | BDT 1,50,000 – BDT 1,62,000 | Prices may be slightly higher due to logistics and lower supply compared to Dhaka. |
| Sylhet | BDT 1,52,000 – BDT 1,65,000BDT 1,50,000 – BDT 1,63,000 | Premium pricing is common due to demand for imported iPhones. |
| Khulna | BDT 1,50,000 – BDT 1,64,000 | Limited availability may push prices slightly higher. |
Why Prices Differ Across Cities
The price variation is not random. Several factors influence it:
- Import Duties & Taxes: Bangladesh has high import taxes on smartphones
- Grey Market Dependence: Many iPhones are unofficially imported
- Supply & Demand: Cities like Sylhet often see higher demand
- Storage Variants: Higher storage (512GB/1TB) will cost significantly more
What to Expect from iPhone 18 Pro Max
While pricing is still unofficial, leaks suggest major upgrades:
- 6.9-inch OLED display
- Advanced A-series chipset
- Triple 48MP camera setup
- iOS 27 support
Apple is also expected to keep pricing close to previous models, though slight increases are possible due to rising component costs.
Should You Wait or Buy Early?
If you’re planning to buy:
- Wait for official launch → Better warranty and stable pricing
- Early purchase (grey market) → Higher price but faster access
For most users, waiting a few weeks after launch can save money.

Dhaka will likely offer the best deals, while cities like Sylhet may see higher pricing. Final prices will only be confirmed after launch, expected later in 2026.
