They should not invest, let them pay double or triple in the black market. People will still buy iPhones. As a matter of fact all foreign companies should leave this place and let them be

Why doesn't the Indonesian government just say they want a bigger bribe? Everyone with an IQ above that of an orange can see through this charade. Governments are getting too powerful and most people will only realize it when it's too late. I would mich rather any company to have my data than the government. Companies only want your money and offer you a producr or service for it, while governments want not just everyone's money and they don't even ask your permission, but they also want total control of both corporations and the people. Don't let them have it. You have every right to have your own mind, you should decide about your money, your life, and your health, not the government who does much worse intrusions of privacy than corporations and for more serious reasons. I'm honestly starting to be afraid where the society nowadays is heading with giving total power to their governments which constantly and historically only abuse that power. People in Indonesia should say enough is enough and that the government cannot prevent them from buying a smartphone just because that company isn't bribing the officials. And I'm saying that as a lifelong ndroid user, but remember that the government can pick any brand, product, medicine etc. to ban for YOU (never for them personally). And when they do come for what you need, you'll realize you've given these total strangers absolute power over your life. I'm not exaggerating, it has always historically been like this with governments.

Bribery and piracy still pretty common over there. The country cannot afford to build advanced semiconductor factories bc of its deficiency in tech and integrity. Big investors like Apple are being imposed on restrictive measures in order to gain technological proficiency (and money milking)

While the rest (backdoor, box, charger box, cable, etc) are still manufactured and assembled here. Yep, it's still MANUFACTURED here, and it makes it considered as "local component". So while you're not wrong, you're also not entirely right.

Nahh, considering we're using this kind of IMEI-whitelisting scheme, only devices that support SIM cards that will got banned. That's mean, technically they can sell WiFi only iPad Mini (and other future iPads) here. The same goes to Macs.
