Apple CEO Tim Cook met with Indonesia’s president, Joko Widodo, to discuss potential investments in the country’s tech sector and diversify supply chains outside of China. The visit comes as the US looks to reduce its reliance on Chinese tech supply chains and boost trade partnerships in Asia. Cook expressed his belief in the potential of Indonesia’s market and its endless investment opportunities. Apple also announced plans to expand its developer academies in Indonesia, recognizing the country’s young and tech-savvy population. Cook also met with president-elect Prabowo Subianto to discuss collaboration between Apple and the Indonesian government. The visit could potentially involve talks on new Apple investments, including a smartphone factory. Indonesia currently lacks an official Apple store, leading customers to buy from resale platforms.
