Indonesia has warned it may extend its existing ban on iPhone 16 sales to the entire iPhone 17 lineup unless Apple meets local manufacturing rules that require 40% of smartphone components to be sourced domestically. Despite Apple's $1 billion investment proposal to build an AirTag factory in Batam Island, officials, including Industry Minister Agus Gumiwang Kartasasmita, stated the plan is insufficient since it doesn't cover phone components, leaving no local content certificate issued as of now. This regulatory stance comes amid Indonesia's strategy to leverage its market of 280 million people and 354 million mobile phones to attract foreign manufacturing, with the ban currently affecting both iPhone 16 and some Google Pixel models since October 2024[1].
