There are significant claims regarding Apple's potential involvement in Pakistan's manufacturing sector. Reports indicate that the company is considering starting production of iPhones in Pakistan, but has laid out three conditions for this to happen. It has been suggested that the Pakistani government is willing to incentivize Apple to begin this venture, which includes refurbishing iPhones under a new framework to facilitate exports. According to The Express Tribune, the government hopes to generate around $100 million in revenue from the re-export of refurbished iPhones within the first year. The conditions presented by Apple’s management reportedly revolve around land discounts, and an 8% performance incentive, alongside a plan for repairing iPhones that are three to four years old. These conditions indicate Apple's strategic approach in choosing relocation and expansion markets based on favorable terms. The CEO of the Engineering Development Board, Hamad Ali Mansoor, emphasized that the government is engaging actively in talks regarding these proposals. While the exact plans and partnerships remain unconfirmed from Apple itself, this initiative could significantly boost Pakistan's tech sector and create local jobs, though it also emphasizes the critical need for the government’s responsiveness to corporate demands for successful partnerships. Any developments will be closely monitored as they unfold, given the impact this could have not only on Pakistan's economy but also on its technological landscape.
