Indonesia might lift its iPhone ban for $1 billion
Briefly

Indonesia has reportedly come to a deal with Apple to lift the ban on iPhone 16 sales after the company's commitment to invest $1 billion in local infrastructure and R&D training. This agreement follows a previous ban due to Apple's failure to fulfill a $109 million investment requirement. Despite the pledge, additional government demands have shaped the negotiations, emphasizing local production and training initiatives. As Apple sets up a facility for AirTag production, the situation exemplifies the nation’s strategic push for technological advancement and investment.
