Indonesia declares iPhone 16 'illegal' due to Apple's broken commitments
Was it a long read? Make it simpler…
What is the story
The Indonesian government has declared Apple's iPhone 16 illegal for sale and operation after the tech giant failed to meet its investment commitments.
Industry Minister Agus Gumiwang Kartasasmita announced the move, calling on consumers to report any instances of use of the device in the country.
“If there is an iPhone 16 that can work in Indonesia, that means… the device is illegal,” Kartasasmita said.
Apple investment shortfall triggers ban
The ban stems from Apple's inability to fully invest the 1.71 trillion rupees, while 230 billion rupees are still pending.
Kartasasmita clarified that the Ministry of Industry cannot issue sales authorizations for the iPhone 16 until Apple respects its commitments.
This delay also affects the expansion of TKDN (Domestic Component Level) certification, which requires a 40% local content value for products sold in Indonesia.
Apple's unfulfilled commitments delay product launches
Apple's investment commitments in Indonesia also include the creation of research and development facilities, or Apple Academies.
Although Apple CEO Tim Cook met with President Joko Widodo in April to discuss possible manufacturing plans, nothing came to fruition.
The global launch of the iPhone 16 on September 20 also skipped Indonesia, impacting other new products such as the iPhone 16 Pro line and the Apple Watch Series 10.
TKDN certification review underway for iPhone 16
Febri Hendri Antoni Arif, spokesperson for the Ministry of Industry, confirmed that the TKDN certification application for the iPhone 16 is under review. However, its approval still depends on Apple meeting its investment obligations.
The ban and certification delays led to the unavailability of not only the iPhone 16, but also other new Apple products like the iPhone 16 Pro line and the Apple Watch Series 10 in Indonesia.
