So I've around 130-140k budget and i'm a bit confused on which phone to get.

PTA/NON/CPID/JV I don't really care that much as most of the calls are now on whatsapp. My main priority is performance, battery life and camera. So far i've eyed these options:

• IPhone 16 (JV)

• IPhone 15 Pro (JV)

• Google Pixel 9 Pro (CPID)

• Google Pixel 9 (PTA)

Not really a fan of samsung so I'm more inclined towards google or the iPhone. Already familiar with the interfaces on the pixel and the iphone and the experience was great so not sure which one to pick.

I don't really know about the markets in Islamabad and is it possible to get these phones in good condition w/ good battery health in this price bracket? Which one would you pick?

I have a budget of around 140k and i'm confused as to which phone I should get. I have used both iphone and pixels in the past and the experience was very good for both phones.

The main tradeoff would be that the iphone would be NON PTA or JV and I would have to keep a secondary phone for hotspot, whereas the Pixel would be CPID approved

My main usage is for photos, social media etc.

What would you guys get?
