Indonesia expects $1b Apple investment after iPhone 16 ban

Indonesia expects a US$1 billion investment from Apple after the country imposed a sales ban on the iPhone 16.

The ban followed Apple’s failure to meet a requirement for 40% local components in devices sold in Indonesia.

Rosan Roeslani, Indonesia’s investment minister, told lawmakers about the anticipated investment if Apple includes the country in its supply chain.

The US$1 billion investment is described as the first phase of Apple’s commitment.

Apple has not commented on the matter.
