According to the company, the new Apple retail store will give customers access to the brand’s complete lineup, including iPhones, iPads, MacBooks, Apple Watches, and accessories. This will make it easier for Pakistani consumers to purchase authentic Apple products directly through an official retail channel for the first time.

Air Link is partnering with GNEXT Technologies, Apple’s authorised distributor in Pakistan. As GNEXT’s premium partner, Air Link aims to expand the availability and accessibility of Apple products nationwide.

In addition to the Apple store, Air Link also confirmed plans to open a Xiaomi retail outlet at the Dolmen Mall, Lahore. This move reflects the company’s broader strategy to strengthen its retail footprint and bring more premium global brands into Pakistan’s tech market.

The company further revealed, as previously covered by TechJuice^[10], that it expects its first shipment of 10,000 Acer laptops by November 2025. This shipment will kick off a pilot project, and if it performs well, the company intends to begin local manufacturing of Acer laptops in Pakistan, a step that could significantly boost local tech production.

Air Link Communication’s latest announcements highlight an ambitious push into Pakistan’s high-end tech retail and manufacturing sectors. The upcoming Apple retail store, Xiaomi outlet, and Acer manufacturing pilot mark a turning point in the local tech ecosystem, potentially reshaping how Pakistanis access and experience global technology brands.
