JAKARTA: Indonesia has rejected an Apple $100 million investment proposal aimed at lifting a ban on iPhone 16 sales, saying it lacks the "fairness" required by the government. Following the ban, Apple offered to increase its investments in Indonesia by $100 million to allow the new phone to be sold domestically. "Currently, Apple still has not invested in production facilities or factories in Indonesia," he said in a statement released late Monday. Despite the sales ban, the Indonesian government still allows iPhone 16 to be carried into Indonesia if they are not being traded commercially. Indonesia also banned the sale of Google Pixel phones for failing to meet the 40 percent parts requirement.
