Apple has successfully negotiated with the Indonesian government to lift the ban on iPhone 16 sales, which was imposed due to a requirement for smartphones to contain a minimum of 40% local components. As part of its expansion strategy, Apple plans to invest in local manufacturing and is in the process of acquiring a local content certificate. This marks a significant step for Apple amidst broader efforts to diversify its production and reduce reliance on China, as demonstrated by its recent manufacturing activities in Brazil and India.
