Pesugihan Ultimate, 27 Mar 2025Based on Macrumors reporting, iPhone 16 lineup release in I... moreindonesia in hi-tech industry is still pretty limited
none of those smartphone parts is available / manufactured in indonesia, from display, chips, caps, battery, down to screws, all is imported
indonesia can make adapter charger yes, but those inside the adapter is still full of imported stuff, and apple dont include charger anymore, so the 40% is for cardboard-box + paper-guide
its just same to rest smartphone company in indonesia, samsung/xiaomi/oppo/vivo etc.
either apple making assembly(aka packing) company or probably opening apple store
it wont make big different from apple sides, only cost them some taxes, as before they dont pay any taxes for their products, consumer the one paid the import tax
if there anything good from this, hopefully iphone user in indonesia can get quick fix for their iphone, rather than waiting like few weeks for fix (because indonesian-distributor need to ship the iphones under warranty back to apple singapore for fix)

403 Forbidden, 27 Mar 2025It's only a matter of time tho.No they won't.
The fact that Apple decided to go round and round through some investment BS to get the iPhone 16 un-banned instead of simply entering the market fully speaks for itself. Apple doesn't want to enter Indonesia. Risk and cost are too high.

Based on Macrumors reporting, iPhone 16 lineup release in Indonesia are still imported, not contains TKDN at all. So probably must be Apple lobbying team...ahem...aka..bribery pro effort finally pay off.
(TKDN = 40％ locally sourced component requirement)

I hope Apple opens Apple Store in Indonesia. The service provided by Apple resellers here is not as good as Samsung's service in Indonesia.

Do Airtags even work in that country? They don't even allow ultra wideband.
