Indonesia has banned the sale of the Apple iPhone 16 due to the device's lack of the International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) certification for use in Indonesia.
The ban is based on Apple's failure to meet its investment commitments in Indonesia, which have resulted in a shortfall of approximately 230 billion Rupiah ($14.75 million).
The iPhone 16 lacks the necessary TKDN certification, which requires 40% of production content to be sourced locally, impacting Apple’s plans for research and development facilities in Indonesia
