It seems GSMArena gave wrong information. Indonesia only bans sales, but allows usage (by buying from other country with paying extra tax).

I'm convinced all of these self-hating Indonesians are either:
- Paid shills by opposition.
- Penyefonk barat.
- Edgy Facebook kids who think they know better a.k.a. pmakar.
- Gravely misinformed bocil.
There is no way a TRUE Indonesian would defend Apple in this case since they simply want to exploit emerging market without giving back.

One of the goal of TKDN is to create jobs for the locals, contrary to importing where some foreigners is the one who get paid.
Hell, if you really know what's the problem instead of spouting nonsense you'll know that Apple is trying to skirt taxation, so not only they fail to commit on creating jobs for the locals they also didn't want to pay taxes.
Analogy: You opened a shop but didn't want to pay rent and hire locals (which is agreed in the contract).

Aierlan, 28 Oct 2024Are you sure Xiaomi has factories in Indonesia. They don�... morexiaomi indonesia doesn't have its manufacture in Indonesia. They took a different approach. They work together with a local company called PT Satnusa Persada, which acts as an assembling company. So, the parts were 40% local (minimum) and the rest was originally from China, then assembly here in Batam Island (near Singapore), Indonesia. As far as I know, only Samsung and Asus own their manufacture in Indonesia.

Pete, 29 Oct 2024The article in question presents a rather misleading narrat... more"Secondly, it is important to understand that all international smartphones face an automatic IMEI ban in Indonesia. This regulation is enforced by the blocking of unregistered IMEI numbers on these devices. While users can still operate international smartphones using foreign SIM cards, local Indonesian SIM cards will not function unless the device has been registered through the appropriate channels. Visitors who bring their devices into the country must navigate the registration process via Customs, or coordinate with the Ministry of Telecommunications. This process may incur various taxes and fees.
Significantly, the second point implies that individuals can indeed purchase the iPhone 16 abroad and subsequently register its IMEI upon arrival in Indonesia, provided they pay the requisite duties and taxes. This registration will yield official tax documentation, confirming that the import duties have been duly settled."
This is a violation of WTO free trade agreement
I hope all Indonesian smartphone IMEI got blocked by other countries
And Indonesian must use expensive tourist sim card or eo roaming
