Indonesian iPhone fans due for an upgrade may not be able to buy the new iPhone 16 locally.
Indonesian Apple fans may not be able to get the company’s latest premium iPhone series, the iPhone 16, as it currently is facing a ban on sales in the country. Ministers are insisting Apple renews a content requirement certification and makes further investments in the country before Indonesian people will be able to buy the newest models from Cupertino.
Apple, just like all multinational companies, follows local laws in different countries to be allowed to conduct business in them. And now, in Indonesia, it seems certification and investment requirements may block sales of its newest models in the region.
Industry minister Agus Gumiwang Kartasamita reportedly said that the iPhone 16 won’t be sold in the country unless the Cupertino tech giant meets certain conditions. Among the conditions, it’s reportedly said that the company should maintain investment commitments and get a certification renewal.
