Service availability confirmed

Apple updated its media services page on Wednesday to confirm the launch. The expansion joins Albania, Brunei, and Burkina Faso as new markets this week. Users can now access the catalogue through local Apple accounts without relying on regional alternatives.

Pricing and trial details

Subscriptions begin at Rs379 per month for individual plans and Rs649 for family plans. New users receive a one-month free trial before automatic monthly billing begins. The service includes features like offline downloads and personalised recommendations.

Market context and growth

Pakistan had remained off the list since Apple first launched globally in June 2015. This arrival aligns the country with other Asian markets after an eleven-year gap. The government encourages tech investment as digital user numbers continue to rise.
