Indonesia adds Google Pixel phones to ban list along with iPhone 16

Southeast Asia’s largest economy has a young, tech-loving population, with more than 100 million people under the age of 30, which tech companies are looking to capitalize on.

About 22,000 Google Pixel phones have entered Indonesia this year, according to data from the Ministry of Industry.

Indonesia’s market share of smartphone shipments in the second quarter of the year was dominated by China’s Xiaomi, Oppo and Vivo, as well as South Korea’s Samsung, according to Counterpoint Research.

The ministry said last week that phones blocked from commercial sale could still be transported to Indonesia as long as they were not subject to trade.

He said the iPhone 16 phones also failed to meet the 40% local parts requirement.

Apple does not have an official store in Indonesia, but Chief Executive Tim Cook visited there in April as the company explored ways to invest in the country.
