Indonesia bans Google Pixel: After recently banning the iPhone 16, Indonesia has now also banned the sale of Google Pixel phones. Indonesia has banned the sale of Google Pixel smartphones because they do not meet local content requirements. The Indonesian Ministry of Industry has provided information on this topic.
The Indonesian Ministry of Industry said that smartphones produced by Google can only be sold if they meet the requirement of 40% local content in smartphones sold in Indonesia. According to Industry Ministry spokesman Fabre Hendry Antoine Arif, the country’s goal is to encourage local manufacturing and reduce dependence on imported technology. After the ban, Pixel phones will no longer be officially sold in Indonesia.

Industry Ministry spokesman Fabre Hendry Antoine Arif said: “We are working to increase these rules so that there is fairness for all investors in Indonesia. Google products do not follow our established plan.” He said users can buy Google Pixel from abroad and install it in the country. For this they will have to pay taxes. Not only that, but officials have warned that phones sold illegally in Indonesia will be invalidated.
Orders have been issued to stop selling the iPhone 16
Recently, Indonesia issued orders to immediately stop selling the iPhone 16. This decision is part of the strict action taken by Apple. The Indonesian government claimed that Apple had requested investment in its country. But the company did not do that, and then this decision was made.
Apple had made some investments in Indonesia, but they were not to the extent the company wanted. Now TKDN certificate is not issued by the government. For this reason, the Apple iPhone 16 will no longer be sold in Indonesia. The Indonesian government is awaiting the remaining investments. According to reports, Apple has invested Rp1.48 trillion in Indonesia, while Apple’s total investment is said to be Rp1.71 trillion. In such a situation, the company did not live up to the government’s expectations and the government took necessary action.
