Apple is navigating through a sales ban on its iPhone 16 series in Indonesia caused by its failure to meet local investment demands, which require sourcing 40% of components locally. To address this, Apple is in discussions to establish assembly lines in Indonesia, potentially making it the first Southeast Asian nation to host iPhone manufacturing. This transition follows Apple's previous investment commitments that fell short, leading to a substantial new investment pledge. If the negotiations conclude positively, Apple's sales ban could soon be lifted, bolstering Indonesia's tech sector effectively.
Nearly four months ago, Apple faced a sales ban in Indonesia on its iPhone 16 series due to failure to meet strict local investment commitments.
Apple is now negotiating with supply chain partners to establish iPhone assembly lines in Indonesia, which would meet the government's requirements for local manufacturing.
