This announcement marks the conclusion of the iPhone 16 ban in Indonesia, which endured for over 166 days. The products were initially prohibited back in late October due to unfulfilled investment commitments from Apple. Following a series of negotiations, Apple reportedly increased its investment proposals in the country to as high as $1 billion.
