Apple to Manufacture iPhones in Pakistan Under New Framework
Pakistan’s technology sector is poised for a major breakthrough as Apple iPhone manufacturing in Pakistan moves closer to reality. The American tech giant has agreed to start manufacturing iPhones locally after the government finalized incentives under the proposed Mobile and Electronics Manufacturing Framework. This landmark development could position Pakistan as a new player in the global electronics supply chain.
Government Incentives Open Doors for Apple
Under the new policy, the government has offered targeted incentives to attract global manufacturers. These measures aim to reduce production costs, encourage foreign investment, and strengthen Pakistan’s electronics ecosystem. As part of the agreement, Apple will not only manufacture iPhones but also expand its operational footprint in the country.
Refurbished iPhones to Boost Exports
$100 Million Expected in First Year
A key component of the framework includes the refurbishment of iPhones in Pakistan for re-export to international markets. According to official estimates, refurbished iPhone exports are expected to generate $100 million in the first year alone, significantly contributing to foreign exchange reserves.
A Turning Point for Pakistan’s Tech Industry
The decision marks a turning point for Apple iPhone manufacturing in Pakistan, creating jobs, transferring technology, and boosting investor confidence. If implemented successfully, this move could pave the way for other global tech giants to follow suit reshaping Pakistan’s digital and manufacturing future.
