A surprisingly early move sees the iPhone 15 Pro (capable of Apple Intelligence) available on Apple’s refurbished site in selected countries.

Indonesia's industry minister met representatives of Apple on Tuesday to discuss the company's potential investment in the country, a prerequisite for the tech giant to sell its latest iPhone 16 locally,

The Apple Inc. executive leading talks with Indonesia to lift the country’s sales ban on the iPhone 16 departed Jakarta on Wednesday, after a late stage about-face from a minister scuttled a deal, according to people familiar with the matter.

Apple's iPhone 16 won't hit shelves in Indonesia anytime soon. As Reuters reports, Indonesia's Ministry of Industry has upheld its ban on the iPhone 16 because Apple has yet to meet its domestic content rules.

Apple remains unable to sell its iPhone 16 in Indonesia despite reaching an agreement to build a local production facility in the Southeast Asian nation. Last year, Indonesia prohibited the sale of Apple’s latest smartphones because the company failed to comply with local regulations requiring that at least 35% of components in phones sold in the country be manufactured domestically.
