Apple will pay $ 1 billion to withdraw the ban on the sale of iPhone 16 in Indonesia
Apple Corporation agreed to withdraw the ban on the sale of the iPhone 16 in Indonesia. It is reported by Bloomberg.
The sales of new Apple smartphones were banned in Indonesia in October due to the fact that the company did not allocate an Asian country with enough investments. Familiar with the situation, sources said that the corporation managed to agree with the local authorities. In fact, Apple will pay off from the ban – it will include about 1 billion dollar to the country’s economy.
Already this week, the Ministry of Indonesia’s Ministry of Industry will sign the corresponding permit. “The deal completes the battle after Indonesia refused to issue permission to sell the iPhone 16,” the journalists noted.
Also, an IT giant undertakes to create several research centers in the country. Apple will train local citizens to research and products development so that they can develop similar software (software) and design their own services. At the same time, the corporation has no plans to launch the production of gadgets in Indonesia.
The authors of Bloomberg noted that the deal can be considered the victory of the Indonesia authorities. The country once again confirmed their harsh rules, according to which foreign manufacturers are obliged to invest large funds in the local economy.
On February 24, Apple announced the largest investments in the United States economy. The company promised to invest $ 500 billion in the United States for 4 years and create tens of thousands of new jobs.
