The iPhone 16 series is now available in Indonesia
Following a five-month ban, the iPhone 16 series is finally available in Indonesia. This includes the iPhone 16, 16 Plus, 16 Pro, 16 Pro Max and the more recently launched iPhone 16e. The devices can now be purchased from local Apple authorized resellers Digimap and iBox, with deliveries scheduled to be delivered in 1-3 business days.
This development officially puts an end to the iPhone 16 ban saga in Indonesia, which lasted for over 166 days. The devices were originally banned back in late October following unmet investment commitments from Apple. One thing led to another, and Apple had eventually entered a negotiation game with the Indonesian government with reports suggesting that Apple had at one point raised its investment commitments in the country as high as $1 billion.

According to the latest report, the final deal includes a $300 million investment from Apple, which includes a manufacturing facility for Apple AirTag trackers in Indonesia and a separate factory for accessories. Cupertino is also expected to set up additional R&D centers and invest in local academies for students.
