Overview
- Apple announced the Berlin plan on Wednesday, June 3, 2026, saying the Mitte district center will open later in 2026 but giving no specific opening date.
- The center will offer multilingual in-person workshops, one-on-one consultations, consultation spaces and dedicated technical labs staffed by Apple experts.
- Programming will cover iOS, iPadOS, macOS, tvOS, visionOS and watchOS with regular events aimed at individual creators and teams of all sizes to improve app design, performance and reliability.
- The Berlin location will be Apple’s fifth Developer Center, joining hubs in Cupertino, Bengaluru, Shanghai and Singapore, and follows the company’s wider European investments such as 19 Developer Academies and Foundation Programs.
- Apple highlighted Europe’s app market scale — more than 150 million average weekly App Store users in 2025 — and reminded qualifying small developers that the App Store Small Business Program reduces the commission rate to 15 percent, offering a practical route to grow from the new hub.
