Le bannissement de l'iPhone 16 pourrait s'achever d'ici 1 à 2 semaines, selon l'Indonésie, avec une déclaration inhabituelle.

The Indonesian government has declared that it expects its iPhone 16 banner to be released "within one or two weeks," but has not explained the basis for this decision.

The country's investment minister made a rather poorly expressed and sometimes contradictory comment, suggesting an agreement was close...

History Until Now

Governments of populous countries are becoming increasingly cunning in their search for an exchange for Apple's access to their markets, demanding incoming investment as compensation.

Indonesia began by requesting a modest $109 million investment from Apple in a development academy here, along with an additional $10 million for production. However, when this target was not met exactly, the government escalated matters significantly. It banned the sale of the iPhone 16 and demanded much more substantial investment.

Apple first offered $100 million, but the government said that was insufficient. It then requested a manufacturing investment of one billion dollars in the country. We recently learned that Apple had agreed to this, and it has since been revealed that this would take the form of large-scale production of AirTags.

However, the Indonesian government strangely rejected this offer, saying only iPhone component manufacturing would be considered.

The suspension of the iPhone 16 could last one or two weeks.
