Apple says it will open seven new training and manufacturing sites in Türkiye, a sign of where it wants to build skills and apps.
Apple announced plans to open seven new sites in Türkiye: five Apple Developer Academies, one Apple Developer Center and one Apple Manufacturing Academy. The news came as Tim Cook, now Apple's executive chairman, toured the country.
Apple Developer Academies are programs that train people to build apps for Apple devices. The company plans five new ones. It also plans one Developer Center and one Manufacturing Academy. The material does not explain what each site will teach or how they differ from one another.
Cook is meeting with Apple's retail employees, app developers, content creators, an athlete and others during the tour. The announcement was reported by MacRumors on Monday, November 9, 2026.
The most direct effect is on people in Türkiye who want to learn app building or manufacturing skills. More local app makers can also mean more apps and services shaped for local users. Anyone who uses apps built there could eventually notice the difference.
Apple has not shared those details in the material available so far. Until it does, the plan is best read as a stated intention, not a finished project.
