The Indonesian government is pushing Apple for a higher investment than its recently proposed $100 million before it will consider lifting

Indonesia's government has considered Apple's increased offer of $100 million of investment in the country, but reportedly wants more before it will lift its ban on the iPhone 16 range.

Apple has offered $100 million to Indonesia as part of an effort to lift a recent ban of the iPhone 16 in the country, as reported by The Wall Street Journal. The company has presented an investment plan that would use that $100 million to set up a manufacturing plant in the nation.

The Indonesian government expects Apple to invest more than $100 million into the country if it wants to sell its iPhone 16 in the growing market.

Indonesia is set to assess a $100 million investment proposal from Apple Inc., as the American tech giant attempts to coax the government to unblock its sales ban on the iPhone 16.

This move follows the South-East Asian country’s recent ban on iPhone 16 sales due to non-compliance with local component regulations.

Tech giant Apple has made a $100 million investment proposal to Indonesia to build a plant to manufacture accessories and components, the industry ministry said on Wednesday.

Apple has significantly raised its proposed investment in Indonesia to $100 million, a tenfold increase from its initial $10 million

Indonesia has set a rule that about 40% of the components of appliances imported into the country should be manufactured locally to promote local industries. Apple failed to meet this requirement, which saw iPhone 16 sales put on hold a few weeks after its launch in September.

Indonesia will review a US$100 million investment proposal from Apple Inc. as the tech giant aims to reverse the government’s ban on iPhone 16 sales. The Ministry of Industry announced on Wednesday evening that Apple has proposed building a manufacturing plant for accessories and components in Southeast Asia’s largest economy.
