Indonesia licenses 5 iPhone 16 models.

According to Indonesia's Ministry of Communications, authorities have just granted telecommunications licenses for five different iPhone 16 models from Apple, a move toward allowing the company to distribute its products in the archipelago after the ban.

The licensing comes a week after Indonesia granted local content certification for 20 Apple products, including the iPhone 16.

Indonesia has just granted telecommunications licenses for five different iPhone 16 models from Apple, a move toward allowing the tech giant to distribute its products in the archipelago after a previous ban.

This Southeast Asian nation of approximately 280 million people banned the sale of the iPhone 16 last year because the company failed to meet component requirements related to domestically produced parts. Analysts say these regulations could damage investor confidence and raise concerns about protectionism.

The Indonesian government has just issued five telecommunications certificates for the iPhone 16e, iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro, and iPhone 16 Pro Max.

The licensing follows last month's announcement of Apple's more than $300 million investment in Indonesia, including factories to manufacture components for its products and a research and development center.

Dwi Handoko, a senior communications ministry official, said five licenses had been granted at Apple's request. However, Apple did not respond when asked about the subject.

According to Bloomberg, Oracle Corporation is in discussions with the Indonesian government to establish a cloud service center on the island of Batam. Nongsa Digital Park in Batam is considered a potential location for a "free trade zone" status and is close to Singapore and Malaysia, where Oracle already has plans for similar cloud services.

In early October 2024, Oracle announced plans to invest over $6.5 billion to establish its first public cloud region in Malaysia. The company also plans to continue expanding its operations across Asia, with more data centers and infrastructure projects planned from Japan all the way to New Zealand... and even to India.

Oracle previously had two cloud computing facilities in Singapore and now has 50 public cloud regions across 24 countries.
