Indonesia Nears Agreement with Apple to Lift iPhone 16 Sales Ban
Indonesian Minister of Investment Rosan Roeslani announced that the country
is close to reaching an agreement with Apple regarding an investment
plan to lift the ban on iPhone 16 sales in the Indonesian market.
Roeslani expressed hope in a Bloomberg TV interview on Tuesday
that the crisis would be resolved within a week or two,
highlighting progress in negotiations with the American company.
Indonesia banned iPhone 16 sales last year due to Apple’s failure to comply with local regulations
requiring devices to have at least 40% local components.
Despite Indonesia’s massive population of 280 million,
Apple has yet to establish local factories, prompting the government to impose these restrictions to boost domestic production.
