Apple Proposes $10M Investment to Lift Indonesia's iPhone Ban

The tech giant aims to meet local content requirements by establishing a manufacturing facility in Bandung.

Apple's $10 million investment plan seeks to reverse Indonesia's ban on iPhone 16 sales due to unmet local content regulations.
The proposed facility in Bandung would produce accessories and components, aligning with Indonesia's 40% domestic content mandate.
Indonesia's Ministry of Industry is reviewing Apple's proposal, which could unlock access to the country's vast smartphone market.
The ban on iPhone 16 sales is part of President Prabowo Subianto's broader policy to boost local manufacturing and protect domestic industries.
Apple's move follows similar challenges faced by Google, which also faced restrictions on Pixel phone sales in Indonesia.
