Tim Hardwick, MacRumors: ‘Apple Raises Indonesia Investment Offer to $1B Amid iPhone Ban’

The negotiation stems from Indonesia’s October ban on iPhone 16 sales after authorities determined Apple had not met the country’s requirement for 40% domestic content in smartphones. The government previously rejected Apple’s initial $10 million offer, followed by a $100 million proposal that included plans for research and development facilities and developer academies.

Play a little hardball and Apple will raise their offer 100-fold! 😯
