JAKARTA - Apple has officially released their latest line, the iPhone 17, with two leading variants of the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max, Tuesday, September 9, 2025.

Indonesia as one of the potential iPhone markets can't wait for the presence of this advanced mobile phone in the country. The Ministry of Industry (Kemenperin) ensures that the Domestic Component Level (TKDN) certificate for the iPhone 17 will be published tonight, Thursday, September 11.

The administrative process, which is the main requirement before the official equipment is marketed in the country, is now entering its final stage.

Head of the Center for the Use of Domestic Products (P3DN) of the Ministry of Industry, Heru Kustanto, confirmed that Apple had registered the iPhone 17 Series file to obtain a TKDN certificate.

"The iPhone 17 has registered (TKDN certificate), there are four files registered for the iPhone 17. Hopefully this afternoon it will be finished for the review. After returning from here I will check, when it is finished I will immediately approve out. tonight we can also exit (TKDN certificate) for four units," said Heru when met at the Ministry of Industry office, Jakarta, Thursday, September 11.

Even so, people still have to be patient to be able to buy the iPhone 17 officially in the country. After the TKDN certificate was issued, Apple still had to go through other licensing stages, including postal certification issued by the Directorate General of Digital Infrastructure of the Ministry of Communication and Digital (Komdigi).

According to Heru, the issuance of postal certificates usually takes longer. In addition, Apple also needs time to regulate the distribution of devices from abroad to Indonesia.

Therefore, he said, the official launch of the iPhone 17 in Indonesia is expected to only be carried out in early October 2025.

"Usually they will apply for a distribution permit to Komdigi. When it is finished, goods just enter Indonesia. Komdigi needs a process, then send it to Indonesia. A week should have been completed. Early October is the longest," he said.
