Apple offers Indonesia US$10 million sweetener to reverse its iPhone ban

Indonesia’s iPhone ban is an example of the pressure Prabowo Subianto’s government is putting on multinationals to boost local manufacturing

The plan would involve Apple investing in a factory in Bandung, southeast of Jakarta, in partnership with its list of suppliers, the people said, asking not to be identified because they’re not authorised to speak publicly. The facility would make products such as accessories and components for Apple gadgets, the people said.

The ministry is deliberating on the proposal, which isn’t final and may be subject to change, and is expected to reach a decision shortly, the people said.
