JAKARTA - Apple still hasn't been able to sell the iPhone 16 in Indonesia even though it has signed an agreement to build a local factory. This is because they have not met domestic content regulations as stated by the Minister of Industry, Agus Gumiwang Kartasasmita, Tuesday, January 7.
In 2024, Indonesia banned sales of the iPhone 16 after Apple failed to meet the requirements that domestically sold phones should consist of at least 35% of the locally made parts.
Minister Agus Gumiwang Kartasasmita said that Apple had signed an agreement to build a plant that produces Airtag tracking devices on Batam Island, but that would not be counted as a local iPhone.

"There is no basis for the Ministry to issue local content certification as a way for Apple to have permission to sell the iPhone 16 because (the factory) has no direct relationship," he said. Agus, added that the ministry would only calculate the cellphone components.
According to the Minister of Investment, Rosan Roeslani, the factory is estimated to be worth US$1 billion (RP16.2 trillion) and will start operating next year.
Agus, who held a two-day meeting with Apple's Global Vice President for Government Relations, Nick Ammann, said Apple had proposed an "innovative investment" that Indonesia had responded to.
