Apple’s New Turkish Venture
Why the buzz?
Apple is almost ready to launch its third flagship store in Turkey. The company’s newest spot on Bagdat Street in Istanbul is already getting a makeover that’s bigger than a billboard—an eye‑catching mural that’s practically shouting “Hey, we’re here!” from the street.
What’s behind the art?
- Big, bold visuals: The front of the store is turning into a gigantic canvas. Think of it as a giant doodle that turns every passerby into a fan.
- Online sneak‑peeks: Apple has started dropping hints across its online store listings, teasing that the new location is coming soon—though the exact opening date is still a mystery.
- The Istanbul vibe: Bagdat is a sweet spot where tech lovers and local shoppers can meet, giving Apple a style that feels both modern and totally in tune with the city.
When will it open?
There’s no firm date yet, but the anticipation is real. Apple is fueling excitement by painting its storefront and dropping clues online, promising that soon the city will have a brand‑new Apple Store.
