The Ministry of Industry expects domestic companies to integrate into Apple's global supply chain, with about 17 domestic companies ready to enter Apple's value chain, covering components such as chargers and LEDs. At the same time, the government is advancing research on digital development related to Industry 4.0 and has proposed to Apple to help drive the digital transformation of Indonesia's manufacturing sector in order to achieve an 8% economic growth target. Recently, the Ministry of Industry received a $100 million investment proposal from Apple for the next two years to build a factory for AirPods Max headphone bearing components, which is related to Apple's efforts to persuade the Indonesian government to lift the ban on the iPhone 16 series. Currently, the government is considering whether the proposal is fair, comparing Apple's investments in Indonesia with those in Vietnam, India, and other countries, as well as other smartphone manufacturers. In addition, Indonesia hopes that Apple will build factories to create added value and absorb labor, rather than just using Indonesia as a product sales market.
