PLDT’s Smart banks on affordable devices to drive 5G growth

Apple has reportedly offered to invest an additional US$100 million in Indonesia to convince the government to approve its new iPhone 16 to be sold in the country.

The Indian smartphone market grew by 4% to 151 million units in 2024 and became Apple’s fourth largest market as rival Samsung recorded decline. 

Smarter trade is a continuing aim of digitisation efforts by industries across the world, as shown by two recent deals involving natural gas supply and port management led by companies in the Middle East.
