Reuters reports that Indonesia is insisting on Apple establishing a manufacturing hub for iPhone components to lift the ongoing ban on iPhone 16 sales.
Agus Gumiwang Kartasasmita revealed meetings with Apple executives focused on a manufacturing facility for Apple AirTag trackers on Batam Island, yet iPhone 16 remains banned.
Local content certification for iPhone 16 is unattainable without the necessary operational ties, as local content must be directly related to phone components.
The law mandates that foreign companies need to ensure 40% local content for approval, which Apple must address to clear the iPhone 16 restrictions.
