Overview
- Apple announced the Berlin Developer Center on Wednesday, June 3, 2026, saying the facility will open later this year but offering no specific date.
- The center will be in Berlin’s Mitte district and will offer in-person sessions, workshops, one-on-one appointments, consultation areas, and dedicated labs staffed by Apple experts in multiple languages.
- Programming will cover Apple’s platforms — iOS, iPadOS, macOS, tvOS, visionOS, and watchOS — with events aimed at solo developers and teams at every stage of app development.
- Apple framed the move around Europe’s large App Store audience, noting more than 150 million average weekly users in 2025 and pointing to support programs such as the App Store Small Business Program and its network of Developer Academies.
- For developers the center should mean easier access to technical guidance and training that could raise app quality and help teams grow, while also giving Apple a local hub for rolling out platform updates and developer resources across Europe.
