Deep dives
Apple's Investment Challenges in Indonesia
Apple has pledged a substantial investment of $1 billion to establish an AirTag production facility in Indonesia, but this has not led to the lifting of the ban on iPhone 16 sales. Previously, the Indonesian government cited Apple's failure to meet a $15 million investment requirement as the reason for the sales ban and demanded a larger commitment. Despite Apple's increased investment offers, the country's representatives emphasize that the investment for AirTags does not address the core issue affecting iPhone sales. They have presented a counterproposal to Apple, urging a prompt response if the company wishes to resume sales of the iPhone 16.
