Indonesia and Apple have agreed on the terms to lift the sales ban on the iPhone 16. The Minister of Industry is expected to sign the agreement with Apple this week, insiders tell Bloomberg news agency.
The country had imposed a sales ban on the iPhone 16 in October, which was launched the month before. Apple did not meet Indonesia’s requirement for 40 percent of smartphones made from local components.
Apple recently announced that it would invest 1 billion dollars in the country, but the minister previously decided to continue banning the sale of the model.
Apple has since made more commitments, the sources say. The American tech group is said to have promised to train employees in Indonesia in research and development of Apple products so that they can develop similar software and their products.
According to the sources, Apple wants to accommodate the Indonesian government with this. The government had urged the tech group to set up facilities for research and development (R&D).
