In the last few years, many companies in Pakistan have set up their own plants
Smartphone companies are expanding their presence in Pakistan. Big names including Oppo – Samsung – Shumi And a handful of other brands are already producing smartphones locally that are gradually bringing down the prices of mobile phones.
But now Apple, one of the world’s largest phone makers, could come to Pakistan. Javed Afridi, CEO of Haier and chairman of Peshawar Zalmai and car businessman, has said that he is already in touch with Apple regarding local production in Pakistan.
It should be noted that Javed Afridi is also responsible for introducing British car manufacturer MG in Pakistan. He claims that he already has a manufacturing plant in Pakistan, but there is no proof of this yet. Prices are not yet proof of this Import taxes are higher in Pakistan
than ever before, which is why smartphones that are not manufactured locally cost an arm and a leg. For example, the price of iPhones in Pakistan is much higher than their international prices
But once local manufacturing starts, these prices are expected to gradually decrease over time which will be of great benefit to the common man but initially there will be no significant difference in prices and the trend will continue to improve.
That being said, there is no confirmation from Apple yet, so don’t place your bets right now
