Indonesia has prohibited the sale of Google Pixel phones due to the company's failure to meet local content requirements, a move that follows the earlier ban on iPhone 16 sales for similar reasons. Ministry spokesperson Febri Hendri Antoni Arief noted that despite an estimated 22,000 Pixel units entering the country this year, it is illegal to trade them. The Indonesian government aims to enhance local investment by enforcing strict domestic manufacturing standards, as companies like Apple seek to engage in dialogue about the ban.
