Big News: Apple is officially coming to Pakistan!

The government has agreed to major incentives to bring the tech giant in. Here's the breakdown:

✅ The Plan: Apple will start by refurbishing 2-3 year old iPhones for re-export, aiming to train local labour before eventually moving into manufacturing.

✅ The Incentives: The govt is offering discounted land, increasing performance incentives to 8%, and expects $100M from re-exports in Year 1.

✅ The Bigger Picture: This is part of a wider push to make Pakistan a regional export hub for mobile and electronics, with $557M in Chinese investment expected soon.

They are targeting 35% local parts usage in the first year. A new export levy on high-end phones (over 1 lac) will fund tech investment.

Two Pakistani Muslims have achieved a historic milestone by being elected Mayor and Deputy Mayor of Cambridge, Massachusetts, highlighting growing diversity in US local politics.

Sumbul Siddiqui, a Karachi-born lawyer, was elected mayor for the 2026–27 term, marking her third tenure and reaffirming her status as the first Muslim and Asian woman to hold the office.

Burhan Azim, an MIT-trained engineer from Burewala, was elected deputy mayor, becoming the youngest city councillor in Cambridge’s history.

First elected in 2017, Siddiqui previously served two mayoral terms, while both leaders’ victories are being celebrated as a major step forward for Pakistani-American representation and inclusion in American governance.
