The fate of the iPhone 16 series in Indonesia remains uncertain as Apple's TKDN certificate expired without renewal. Indonesia requires that devices sold in the country meet TKDN (Domestic Component Level) requirements, with the current minimum threshold set at 35%. There has been discussion about raising it to 40%, but no new regulations have been enacted. Brands such as Samsung, Xiaomi, Oppo, and Vivo have multiple products that meet the local content requirements, have established factories in Indonesia, and comply by using local applications. Apple relies on innovation development programs to meet TKDN, such as building Apple Developer Academies. Bloomberg reported that Apple plans to build an accessory factory in Bandung with an investment of USD 10 million, but it remains uncertain whether this will make the iPhone 16 compliant. According to the Ministry of Industry, the innovation program TKDN certificate for investing in innovation centers has a specific scope; the iPhone 16 needs to achieve 35% local content through assembly or applications to meet TKDN regulations.
