The industry minister announced on Wednesday that Apple would soon be able to sell its iPhone 16 phones in Indonesia after the two parties reached agreements on a number of agreements, including a manufacturing plant and a research and development center.
Agus Gumiwang Kartasasmita informed reporters that Apple will shortly receive a local content certificate, which is required for the handset’s sales to be approved.
When the certificate would be issued was not specified by him.
Indonesia prohibited the iPhone 16’s sales last year, claiming Apple had not produced enough locally-made parts for the phones to be sold in the country. Businesses can source parts domestically or form local partnerships to meet the domestic need.
