Because Xiaomi doubt to produce with huge investation for every model production but the demand is not high. The latter, Xiaomi 14T Pro is sold because Xiaomi predicts the demand is quite good (compared to Vivo 40 Pro and S24 FE).

        Singapore, Malaysia, Phillipine, etc sold all models by importing from China. CMIIW

            Whether it's people or companies

            I remember a case where this rich guy in my country was watching some cents leaving his account daily

            And he sued the bank, not justifying the cents being taken but honestly only the ultra rich would be observing that meticulously

              Indo is going backward. Everyone will choose malaysia for flexibility. Malaysia learn business like china. Indo use force and dont learn business.

                NEED PERFECTION, 28 Oct 2024Samsung, Xiaomi, BBK brands, and even Infinix has factories... moreAre you sure Xiaomi has factories in Indonesia. They don't even manufacture phones in China. It's all outsourced so I think it's extremely unlikely they have factories in Indonesia. They probably outsource it all to third party electronics manufacturers like in China

                  I like this approach. With some tweaks this should apply on other products. Companies should put more in the countries where they sell products to help local economy and people.

                    Good work from my government that I can say, this can reduce people going abroad to buy this iPhone.. it's time for Apple to build a store and factory here.. people buying this from abroad also don't necessarily mean that their iPhone can be used in Indonesia.

                    There are also authorized resellers here but the prices are very expensive. Now is the time for Apple fan users to try the Android flagship.

                                        Indonesia is quite a large market to be missing out on.
