Apple Iphone 16 Ban Lifted in Indonesia Due to Deal with Apple
Apple is expected to be cleared to sell its iPhone 16 phones in Indonesia soon, as the country's industry minister has agreed deals with the company, including an Apple manufacturing plant and a research and development centre. The agreement signals the end of protracted talks between Apple and Indonesia, which last year banned sales of the iPhone 16 due to Apple's failure to meet requirements on locally-made components. This deal is worth over $300 million for Apple.
