        Another $90M is to just open Apple Stores and Service Centers in many cities in Indonesia, and provide Apple services (i.e., Apple Pay, etc.), that is enough for the potential customers.

                See Europe? Just ban them and they'll stop anti competitive bs.

                  If that's the case, every country should start banning apple.

                    There is 277.5 million people in indonisia, it's the 4th most populous country in the world, in 2022 2.1 million got an iphone. $100 millions is like 100k iphones costing 1000USD each on average... Let that sink in

                        you put any fine and ban on any company and they will start following every rule of those countries. Good way to fulfill all commitment promised by the company.
