Apple CEO Tim Cook expressed interest in potentially manufacturing in Indonesia during a meeting with Indonesian President Joko Widodo. Cook mentioned that they discussed the president's aspiration to establish manufacturing in the country, indicating that Apple will explore this possibility further.
Indonesia has been actively working to attract manufacturing investments to drive economic growth, while Apple aims to diversify its supply chains beyond China, where a significant portion of its devices are currently assembled. In response to disruptions caused by COVID-19 shutdowns in China, Apple has already started shifting some production to countries like Vietnam and India.
