Indonesia has banned the sale of Google smartphones due to non-compliance with local content regulations requiring at least 40% of parts to be manufactured domestically. This decision comes just days after the country blocked the sales of Apple's iPhone 16 for the same reason. Officials state that the enforcement of these rules promotes fairness for all investors in the local market, although critics argue it may negatively impact consumer choice and investor confidence.
