Recently, Apple launched its iPhone 16 Series in the market, which was being discussed a lot all over the world. But in the meantime, shocking news has come out: Indonesia has completely banned the sale of the iPhone 16 series. Not only this, the iPhone 16 present in Indonesia has also been declared illegal. The government has taken this step after a serious allegation was made against Apple.
Why was the iPhone 16 banned? The Indonesian government has accused Apple of promising to invest heavily in their country. Apple did make some investment, but it was not as per the government's expectations. The government said that due to this incomplete investment by Apple, they have not been given TKDN certification, which is mandatory for selling any product in Indonesia. Without this certificate, the sale of iPhone 16 is no longer legal in Indonesia.
How much has Apple invested? According to reports, Apple has invested around Rs 1.48 trillion in Indonesia, while the government expected an investment of Rs 1.71 trillion. Due to this incomplete investment, the government has decided to take strict action against Apple. The Indonesian government says that they are waiting for the remaining investment, and the ban on iPhone 16 will continue until it is completed.
What will be the impact for Apple? This decision by Indonesia can definitely prove to be a big setback for Apple. Especially when the meeting of the company's CEO, Tim Cook, with the President of Indonesia was quite positive. During this time, the topic of setting up a manufacturing plant in Indonesia was also discussed between the two. But now this decision of the government can affect Apple's future plans.
Increasing popularity of the iPhone 16 Series: This decision has come at a time when there is a lot of enthusiasm among the customers about the iPhone 16 Series. Apple has added many new features to this new series, which people all over the world are liking. But due to this decision of Indonesia, Apple may have to change its plans. The company will have to complete the investment while following the investment rules of the government so that they can re-enter the Indonesian market. The resolution of this matter between Apple and the Indonesian government is still pending. In such a situation, Indonesian customers may be deprived of this popular iPhone series. Apple now has to decide what steps it takes to deliver its new iPhone 16 Series to the customers by following the investment rules of Indonesia.
