Finally, the iPhone 18 Pro comes with old camera features on Android phones

Responding to the ban on sales of the iPhone 16 in Indonesia, Chairman of the National Economic Council Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan said Indonesia was open to investment opportunities.

“We are all very open to anything. Especially if it (iPhone) is produced domestically, because we want to create jobs,” said Luhut at the Presidential Palace in Jakarta, as quoted by Antara, Wednesday (6/11/2024).

Luhut Pandjaitan also said that Indonesia’s main focus is not only technology, but also the creation of local jobs through labor-intensive industries, such as the garment and construction sectors.

“So, like the existing garments, construction is in Kertajati and also near Solo,” explained Luhut.

Previously, news circulated that the technology giant intended to disburse investment funds of IDR 157 billion to build an iPhone factory in Bandung.

The plan is that this factory will focus on producing various accessories and components for Apple devices by partnering with several local suppliers, as reported by Bloomberg.

This strategic step is expected to be able to meet the TKDN standards set by the Ministry of Industry (Kemenperin), and finally the iPhone 16 series will be officially sold in Indonesia.
