MasEnha, 23 Nov 2024I'm Indonesian and it's a shame. As what we have ... moreXiaomi meet the requirement by locally made packaging and accessories (case, charger etc), locally made some part (frame, back cover etc) and locally assembly phone.
That is why 14T and 14T pro in indonesia have charger in the box.
Why not apple?

Sono, 22 Nov 2024I will not be surprised if Trump bans access of American Te... more40% tax for not meeting the requirement of locally made component.
The effect of not meeting the requirement (be it 40% locally made or paying 40% tax) is only banned access to 4G celluler network, apple can still sell device but it is cannot access 4G.
Huawei still sell tablet and laptop, which doesnt have 4G despite not meeting the requirement.

I'm Indonesian and it's a shame. As what we have predicted, it's all about money, not about protection of 40% local components BS.
To begin with, everything made in China, software from Apple US, how its magically became 40% local is a nonsense. A scheme should auditing it, otherwise the corruption is piling up.
Applicable to all manufatures!

I will not be surprised if Trump bans access of American Technology to Indonesia. The effect will be devastating for Indonesia. At this point, the government is simply being greedy and bullying companies. They could have a positive reinforcement and charged extra tax for devices not manufactured in Indonesia but an outright ban shows their personal incompetence. They banned Google Pixel, imagine google banning all their services in the country!!!
