Adds details throughout
JAKARTA, March 7 (Reuters) - Indonesia has issued local content certificates for 20 Apple products, including the iPhone 16, an industry ministry spokesperson said on Friday, although the company still needs permits from other ministries before it can sell the phones.
The issuing of the certificates follows last month's announcement of more than $300 million investments by Apple in Indonesia, including on plants making components for its products and a research and development centre.
Indonesia banned iPhone 16 sales last year due to Apple's failure to meet requirements on locally-made components.
Apple was granted certificates for 11 phone models and 9 tablets because it had met the requirements, ministry spokesperson Febri Hendri Antoni Arief said.
The company now needs permits from the communications and digital ministry and the trade ministry to be able to sell its products in the country, Febri added.
Apple, Indonesia's communications ministry, and the trade ministry did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Indonesia's industry minister had said the months-long negotiations with Apple had been "tricky."
Apple was outside the top five smartphone brands in Indonesia in the third quarter of last year, according to research firm Canalyst.
