iPhone 16 in Indonesia: A No-Go Zone and OPPO’s Rising Star
Jakarta – Well, well, well! It appears that Indonesia has thrown a massive wet blanket over Apple’s highly anticipated iPhone 16. The Indonesian Ministry of Industry, or as I like to call them, the ‘iPhone Bouncers’, has decided that not only is the iPhone 16 illegal in the country, but also its glitzy sidekick, the Apple Watch Series 10. Talk about a ‘no entry’ sign that’s as glaring as a neon billboard!
Minister Agus Gumiwang Kartasasmita confirmed that Apple has missed the investment commitments it promised to whip out. In other words, Indonesia told Apple, “You can’t sit with us!” Apparently, they were expecting more than IDR 1.71 trillion (that’s USD 109 million, folks) to invest in local R&D facilities, but are only seeing a paltry IDR 1.48 trillion. So, it’s less “Hello, iPhone!” and more “Goodbye, Apple!”
Of course, this shocking news flew across the globe faster than a wayward selfie on social media. GSM Arena couldn’t resist chiming in, pointing out that the government has effectively banned the iPhone 16—and it’s a ban that feels like a bad breakup party Apple didn’t get invited to.
