In the launch of the iPhone 16 Series, Digimap has again collaborated with renowned Indonesian designer Sebastian Gunawan. This year, they present a phone charm and MagSafe wallet with a unique and stylish laser-cut design.

This merchandise is available in limited quantities and can only be obtained at 15 selected Digimap outlets," Farah Fausa Winarsih, GM Marketing Apple Business PT Map Zona Adiperkasa, said in amedia statement as quoted on Thursday, March 27, 2025.

Previously, Minister of Investment and Downstream/Head of the Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM) Rosan P. Roeslani announced that Apple had agreed to build an AirTag factory in Indonesia as part of the first phase of their investment.

"Essentially they talked and were fully committed to the first phase of AirTag development worth US$1 billion," Rosan said after meeting Apple's Vice President of Global Policy, Nick Amman, in Jakarta on Tuesday, January 7 , 2025.

However, government hopes that Apple can consider the proposal to build a factory that is more relevant to their main products. This step will not only have a greater economic impact, but also allow Apple to meet regulatory requirements and launch its flagship products in the Indonesian market.
