Negotiating with one of the largest companies in the world doesn’t sound easy, but that’s precisely what Indonesia has been doing for the past few weeks with iPhone maker Apple. The backstory here is that after the country required smartphones which are sold domestically to be made of at least 40% locally manufactured parts, Indonesia banned iPhone 16 sales. In November 2024, authorities even confiscated and destroyed recent iPhone models, as shown in the picture above.
