Pakistan is finally set to welcome its first official Apple retail store by the end of 2025, marking a historic step toward formal Apple retail presence in the country.
According to details shared during Airlink Communication’s corporate briefing with Topline Securities, the Apple Store will be established inside Dolmen Mall Lahore, one of the city’s premier shopping destinations.
The store will operate alongside a Xiaomi outlet, offering Apple’s full range of products in a certified retail environment for the first time in Pakistan.

The development follows Airlink’s appointment in September 2024 as a premium Apple partner in Pakistan.

With this partnership, customers will gain legitimate access to the complete Apple ecosystem, including:
-
iPhones 📱
-
iPads 💻
-
MacBooks 💼
-
Apple Watches ⌚
-
Official Apple accessories 🎧
This move also signals Apple’s growing confidence in Pakistan’s tech market, which has seen exponential demand for premium devices in recent years.

During the same briefing, Airlink also revealed:
-
A shipment of 10,000 Acer laptops is expected to arrive by November 2025 as part of a pilot project.
-
If successful, local manufacturing of Acer laptops will follow.
-
The company is also in talks with another smartphone brand for local production, though no formal deal has been finalized yet.

The arrival of an official Apple Store will end years of reliance on gray imports and unofficial resellers.
It will ensure:
-
Official warranties & service support

Genuine product pricing transparency

Apple-standard customer experience
For Pakistani consumers, this represents a major milestone in the evolution of the country’s tech retail landscape.
