Indonesia Bans The Sale Of Google Pixel Smartphones Just Days After Banning iPhone 16

Indonesia announced it has prohibited the sale of smartphones produced by Alphabet's Google, citing regulations mandating the use of locally manufactured components. This move comes just days after it imposed a similar ban on sales of Apple's iPhone 16. The restriction on Google Pixel phones is due to the company’s non-compliance with a requirement that stipulates at least 40 per cent of smartphone components must be locally sourced for devices sold in the country. According to a Reuters report, Febri Hendri Antoni Arief, industry ministry spokesperson, said, "We are pushing these rules so that there's fairness for all investors in Indonesia. Google's products have not adhered to the scheme we set, so they can't be sold here." ALSO READ | Elon Musk To Face Deportation For Immigration Viola...
