Apple iPhone Price in Nepal 2025 [Updated]

Are you thinking of buying an iPhone in Nepal? You have come to the right place. There are two ways to get yourself Apple’s latest range of iPhones in Nepal. The first is via a grey channel, and the other is from an authorized channel. In this article, we will discuss all the available iPhone models you can buy from an authorized channel in Nepal, along with their specifications and official price.

iPhones in Nepal Overview: 

Generation Next Communications Pvt. Ltd. is the sole authorized official distributor of Apple products in Nepal. Apple products include iPad, iMac, MacBooks, and iPhones. The company has different lineups of iPhones in Nepal with different variants to fit the interests of different types of customers.

The older models, 14 Pro Series and 15 Pro Series are no longer available in Nepal through the authorized channel. However, you might get these older models from the grey channels. Anyway, to know whether the iPhone you bought in Nepal is from an authorized channel or not, you can follow either of the following steps:

  • Check the Generation Next hologram sticker on the box of your iPhone
  • Buy your iPhone from Authorised sellers like Hukut Store, Oliz Store, and Evo Store
  • Enter the IMEI number on Genxt Nepal’s website.
  • SMS genxt<space>Service Tag no. to 34001

Get an Extended Warranty with Shield Pro on the iPhone 16 Series

For a phone that costs a premium, does require some extra care. Otherwise, the repair cost is also on the same (expensive) side. But fear not, if you have purchased the iPhone 16 Series from an authorized medium in Nepal like Hukut, Oliz Store, or Evo Store, you can get an extended warranty service. This is brought to you by Shield Pro. Here’s what you will get:

  • Front Screen Replacement – Twice within 2 years
  • Back Panel Replacement – Twice within 2 years
  • Extended Warranty – 1 additional year

However, you might need to pay little as a service charge, 5,000 rupees for instance. But it’s way cheaper than paying the full repair amount. Most importantly, the grey import of iPhones is rising due to MDMS being inactive for the time being. So, it’s a pretty commendable extended warranty service brought by GenNXt, the official distributor of Apple products in Nepal. Also, we always recommend you to go for authorized products and it makes much more sense now.

The phone has a similar design to its predecessor with some minor changes like thinner bezels or a new camera button. However, it has some drawbacks, including minimal camera upgrades and limited charging speeds.

With a slightly smaller size at 6.3 inches, the 16 Pro features the same LTPO Super Retina XD OLED display with 120Hz promotion aka refresh rate.

3. iPhone 16 

The iPhone 16 packs a serious punch with its A18 SoC, delivering top-tier performance for everything from gaming to multitasking. You’ve got a stunning 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR display that hits a peak brightness of 2000 nits, making it perfect for outdoor use. The camera system is also impressive, featuring a 48MP main lens and a 12MP ultra-wide lens with autofocus, which significantly improves low-light photography. Plus, with 8GB of RAM and storage options up to 512GB, you’re set for a smooth experience

iPhone 16 Design

On the flip side, the iPhone 16 doesn’t come without its drawbacks. The 60Hz display refresh rate is a letdown, especially when many competitors are pushing higher refresh rates for a smoother experience. And let’s not ignore the high price tag in Nepal, which could make potential buyers think twice. Limited camera upgrades from the iPhone 15 also make it less appealing for those looking for a significant leap in photography capabilities. So, if you’re not all-in on the A18’s performance and AI features, you might be better off snagging the iPhone 15, especially with its expected price drop.

4. iPhone 16 Plus

The iPhone 16 Plus is a slightly taller twin of the regular iPhone 16. It features a massive 6.7-inch screen and slightly bigger battery. Other than that, it’s essentially the same phone, featuring the same A18 chipset with the same cameras. If the display size of the regular iPhone 16 is not big enough for you, the 16 Plus can also be a great option, particularly for watching movies or playing games.

9. iPhone 11

Although the iPhone 11 is plenty of years old, it’s still available for purchase in Nepal. This means that the iPhone 11 is now available at a much lower price, making it one of the most affordable iPhones currently on the market in Nepal.

And although the name may not say so, it’s the literal successor of the iPhone XR. The handset comes with a handful of upgrades over its predecessor, because of which it’s still quite in demand in the market.

The major upgrade here, from the iPhone XR, is in the cameras. Apple has included an additional lens on the back. That means the new iPhone 11 comes with a dual-camera setup. In addition to the 12MP primary shooter, you get another 12MP wide-angle camera. Even the selfie snapper has received an upgrade. You get a 12MP front camera here, which promises to capture amazing selfies.

Apart from that, the iPhone 11 comes with IP68 dust and water resistance, a slightly bigger battery, and, more importantly, a powerful processor. However, Apple has included an HD display on the phone yet again, which is a bummer. Talking more about the display, it’s a 6.1-inch Liquid Retina IPS panel. Besides that, it is powered by the latest Hexa-core Apple A13 Bionic chipset, which is the same chipset in the Pro & the Pro Max variant.

Let’s get into the depths of this big news.

This chipset features 8 CPU cores, 8 GPU cores, and a maximum clock speed of 4.8 GHz. Moreover, it is equipped with a 2TB NVMe SSD, providing ample space for modern AAA games and heavy media usage.

It supports up to 24GB of LPDDR5 RAM and includes both a PCIe 4.0 M.2 SSD slot and a microSD card reader for expandable storage. One of its biggest advantages is the 80Wh battery, which nearly doubles the capacity of devices like the original Steam Deck, offering significantly longer gaming sessions.

Design and Usability

In terms of display, both handhelds come with an 8-inch Full HD+ display featuring a 120Hz refresh rate and Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) support, ensuring a fluid and immersive gaming experience.

On the other hand, the Claw A8 BZ2EM also brings flair to the handheld market with a striking lime green color option, breaking away from the traditional black-and-white norms. It maintains a portable form factor with dimensions of 299.5 x 126.2 x 24mm and a weight of 765 grams, making it both powerful and travel-friendly.
