The now almost four month-long ban on sales of the iPhone 16 in Indonesia may be lifted “very, very soon,” according to a government minister.

Indonesia banned sales of the iPhone 16 in October 2024, just weeks after it was launched. It was because of the country’s laws about locally-sourced components, and also because Apple had fallen short on its investment commitments.
According to Bloomberg, the long negotiation between Apple and the country may be about to be resolved. There are no specific details of any deal with Apple, and the company has not commented, but a local minister has said the conclusion is in sight.
