Sales of Apple’s new iPhone 16 have started in more than 50 countries including India. Meanwhile, Indonesia has banned Apple’s new iPhone 16 series.

According to the report, the Indonesian government has banned the sale of iPhone 16 as well as the entry of iPhone 16 into the country’s border. In such a situation, if you have iPhone 16 and want to travel to Indonesia, then you should keep some things in mind. Let us first know what is the main reason for banning iPhone 16?

Ban imposed due to this reason

Indonesia’s Industry Minister Agus Gumiwang Curtasmita said that the use of iPhone 16 will be banned in the country until Apple meets its local investment requirements. According to the report, Apple has not released the iPhone 16 in Indonesia because according to the government there, the company has not met the investment target.

Apple has invested 1.48 trillion rupiah in Indonesia, which is 14.75 million rupiah less than the 1.71 trillion rupiah set by the government. According to Indonesian regulations, any product sold in the country will require 40 percent local content, which includes components, labor and facilities. Apple has missed the investment target of iPhone 16. Its sale without the necessary IMEI certification will be considered illegal in the country.

Keep these things in mind

This ban will also affect travelers coming to the country. If you are planning to travel in Indonesia, then you should keep these things in mind.

1. You will also have to keep another secondary phone with you along with iPhone 16, so that you can use it for calling or other services.
2. Without IMEI certificate, local SIM card cannot be used in iPhone 16. In such a situation, you will have to depend on portable Wi-Fi device or public Wi-Fi.
3. The government is currently reviewing the IMEI certification of iPhone 16. In such a situation, you will have to stay updated about the removal of the ban on iPhone.
