Indonesia bans sales of Google Pixel and Apple iPhone 16 due to local sourcing regulations.

Indonesia has banned the sale of Google Pixel phones, following a similar prohibition on Apple's iPhone 16, due to non-compliance with regulations mandating that at least 40% of components be locally sourced. This initiative aims to enhance local manufacturing and attract foreign investment. Consumers can still import these devices for personal use, but unauthorized sales may lead to deactivation. The bans reflect Indonesia's efforts to strengthen its tech sector.
