The iPhone 16 is not allowed to be sold in Indonesia, with the sales ban triggered by a lack of investment by Apple into the country.

On October 11, it was warned that Apple faces the prospect of a sales ban in Indonesia, if it didn’t manage to renew a content requirements certification in time. A few weeks later, that ban has become a reality.
“Imported iPhone 16 hardwares cannot be marketed in the country, because Apple Indonesia has not fulfilled its investment commitment to earn a local content certification,” said industry ministry spokesperson Febri Hendri Antoni Arief on Friday to Reuters.
