TAIPEI -- Apple suppliers are taking steps to potentially make iPhones in Indonesia as the U.S. company continues its efforts to have a government sales ban on its latest handsets lifted, multiple sources told Nikkei Asia.
This move, if it materializes, would mark Apple's first-ever iPhone production in the Southeast Asian nation, where it has almost no supply chain ecosystem. It would also significantly boost Indonesia's efforts to create jobs and elevate its tech manufacturing industry, given the iPhone supply chain is considered one of the most sophisticated for consumer electronics.
