Table of Contents
Apple is moving closer to launching the iPhone 17 in Indonesia, having reportedly obtained the necessary TKDN (Tingkat Komponen Dalam Negeri) certification. This certification signifies a level of domestic component usage, a requirement for mobile phone sales in Indonesia. The data was released on Thursday night, signaling a potential launch in the near future.
TKDN Certification and Regulatory Approvals
Heru Sutadi, Director General of Metal, Machinery, transportation Equipment, and Electronics Industry at the Ministry of Industry, confirmed that Apple has secured the TKDN certificate. Following this, Apple must obtain a distribution permit through the issuance of Postel (post and Telecommunication) certificates. The removal of TKDN requirements for American products has been a recent topic of discussion, but currently remains in effect for mobile phone sales.
Heru estimates the Postel certificate process will take up to two weeks, suggesting the phone could be ready for distribution in early October, “God willing.”
Rumored iPhone 17 Features and Design
The iPhone 17 series is expected to closely resemble the iPhone 16, encompassing basic, Pro, and Pro Max models. However, rumors suggest the “Plus” model may be discontinued, replaced by a thinner ”Air” variant. This potential shift aligns wiht Apple’s exploration of different form factors and target audiences.
Further speculation points to a larger screen size for the iPhone 17, potentially 6.3 inches for the standard models – a slight increase from previous generations. Improvements to the camera system are also anticipated, with upgraded lens specifications.
Performance enhancements are also expected, with a potential upgrade to a 120 Hertz refresh rate across all models, a notable jump from the 60 hertz rate found in previous iterations. The front-facing camera is rumored to be upgraded to 24 megapixels, exceeding the 12-megapixel camera in the iPhone 16.
Design changes may include a rectangular bar housing the rear cameras and flash, and a slightly smaller Apple logo compared to previous models, according to Macrumors’ analysis of leaked schematics.
