Why don't Apple Iphone officially launch in Pakistan?

[s15]

What you claimed from them?

Faulty front camera on iPhone 6S plus less than a week used. Got a replacement.

Warranty helps a lot, one gets a genuine product with 1 year peace of mind.

If that's not 100% official, then what is?

A user on PakGamers claimed his 6 plus with the camera issue from an authorized reseller and the phone was fixed (legit Apple fix, not local repair) within a few hours.

That's official too, but not 100%, since its done by Apple authorized distributor (like FutureTech), and not directly by Apple (like Apple store).

Apple authorized FutureTech etc to sell its products and provide warranty services.

Apple does not sell directly here in Pakistan, it sells via their authorized distributors like FutureTech, who also provide after sales services like warranty etc.

Even Samsung Galaxy is not 100% official here. Samsung authorized distributors like M&P, Greentech etc to sell their products and also provide after sales like warranty etc.

OPPO comes 100% officially here that's why its expensive, and it's warranty services are provided directly by OPPO, not by any of its authorized distributors.

But for sake of simplicity, consider authorized distributors as official and legit, because they are, but not 100% official.

Yeah exactly. But this time, I bought iPhone 6s from grey channel before their launching just because of FaceTime.

Btw, the replacement which i got for my 6 Plus had FaceTime.

You can buy apple from Pakmac Islamabad. They import iphone from singapore office and provide official localwarranty. And its with facetime and you are always sure you will get genuine accessories.

Apple also outsources repairs in the US (other than simple issues). A company has to be certified before it becomes an authorized repair facility - this usually involves using Apple sanctioned repair hardware.

we can easily get the phones with warranty .I myself sold them BUT where are you going to claim the warranty from?
i had to send them uk or france to get them replaced where they were replaced by apple for free

I am USA citizen and visiting Pakistan since my childhood.

All I can say is Pakistani people are having better quality iPhones compared to iPhones available in USA . iPhones available in Pakistan have more features and are unlocked . They sound expensive but based on my experience are worth it especially PTA approved .

And regarding Apple store ?
Why Pakistani people want Apple store in Pakistan ? Only good answer can be Apple care . Because apple care imho is service which is very helpful and beneficial to iPhone users . USA is winner when it comes to Apple care . Apple care is service offered by Apple where you can replace defected phone under extended warranty for free .

Pakistan not need apple store but yes Pakistani iPhone users do need and deserve Apple care and PTA should raise this issues with executives of Apple
. Apple is USA no 1 weighted average company on Dow JOnes . You can say Apple is pride of USA and USA stock market .

Lastly , Pakistan current government can do much better regards to Apple users with benefits since Imran Khan knows how to talk better English than previous leaders . Only issue with Imran Khan is that he is drug addict , unpredictable, unreliable and over confident because he won stupid cricket world cup by chance once upon a time in early 90s and also imran Khan himself is not corrupt but yes his ministers are corrupt , ineffective and incompetent. So other than asking iPhone users more money to fund his cancer hospital and other charity based projects or putting more taxes on users he has little to offer hardworking people of Pakistan . So in Pakistan under extremely greedy and exteremely incompetent govt of imran Khan no hopes for any relief or benefit to iPhone users in Pakistan.
