Oh well, rules are rules
If Iphone or Indomie, or any other company did not follow the rule of a country, they can ban it all they want. Simple.

Anonymous, 29 Oct 2024xiaomi has multiple smart manufacturing factories. i think ... moreThey don't make any in China themselves apart from foldables as far as I know even for theri flagships. All outsourced. The Xiaomi 14 series was outsources to Wingtech and Foxconn I think. I can't speak for other countries though. Most phones they also don't design themselves. They outsource the design for almost all redmi phones which are ODM. They have two smart factories in China in total but one is for car manufacturing and the other doesn't really do bulk manufacturing so it's only used for high end products with very low sales volumes like foldables. That seems to be the case from what I've read.

I can see that either Indonesian don't understand the problem or they got "educated" to think that way.
This is not only about apple.
Indonesian will be the one that suffer
You can't buy smaller brand or "rising" brand with this law
Maybe like HTC, Sony, ZTE, OnePlus, Asus, Nothing.
And based on economy 101, this rule will make prices up. So expect paying the phone 50% more expensive than in you're neighboring countries.

Comply the local laws, or don't operate in this country, it's that simple. Apple's absence won't affect this country after all (apart from "that-one-who-forced-themselves-to-buy-an-iPhone-even-though-their-economic-status-doesn't-actually-supports-them-to-do-so" fanboys). The one that actually can afford an iPhone can just bought one from SG & MY.

BS. No reliable source about this information. Before the ban of iPhone 16, small number of indonesian only bought phone in singapore before the official release of new model in indonesia (because of FOMO) and ofcourse they 250USD for import+custom tax MINIMUM per phone only to be able to use it in indonesia.
Buying the official imported iphone in indonesia is still easier and relatively cheaper than buying iphone overseas if they want to use it in indonesia.

Even in India, it’s still Foxconn. Indonesian labor is very low skilled. Those Chinese “factories” are not actual factories. They’re just assemblers. All the parts are still made in China. They just assemble the pieces locally.

The software i mean here is local app, apple can easily do this to fulfill "local component" like the other brand and keep their codes for themself.
Apple already did this for several years back, but decided not doing it anymore and even demanded tax-free for 50 years ahead
Result is ban for next apple product
