Apple deepens Europe developer push as Vision Pro gets new immersive content

Apple is opening its first developer center in Europe later this year in Berlin, adding a fifth center to its existing locations in Cupertino, Shanghai, Singapore, and Bengaluru. The company says the site will offer in-person sessions, workshops, one-on-one appointments, and labs for developers across Europe, with programming spanning iOS, iPadOS, macOS, tvOS, visionOS, and watchOS. 9to5mac.com macrumors.com

The expansion also comes with fresh attention on Apple’s app ecosystem. Apple Music Classical was updated with time-synced listening guides, curated stations, and personalized recommendations, while Wigmore Hall Live relaunched as a digital-only platform in partnership with Apple Music Classical. Apple also highlighted the 2026 Apple Design Awards, where winners included Cyberpunk 2077 Ultimate Edition for Mac and Blue Prince. macrumors.com gamesindustry.biz

On the hardware and spatial computing side, Apple Vision Pro picked up a new free native app from Cirrus Aircraft called “Let’s Go Fly!” The app unlocks a seven-minute immersive demonstration flight over the American Southwest, plus full-scale 3D models of the SR Series and Vision Jet. 9to5mac.com

Apple’s broader June activity also includes a Global Running Day challenge on Apple Watch and a new Apple Fitness+ treadmill workout. Together with the Berlin center and Vision Pro app launch, the day’s evidence points to Apple leaning into developer outreach and services while continuing to seed new experiences across its platforms. 9to5mac.com 9to5mac.com 9to5mac.com

Common questions on Apple, surfaced from across the indexed web.

Can Apple do a better job?

Theft Detection Lock was on my mind as Apple is reportedly working on a similar feature. Code discovered by 9to5Mac indicated that it will also use the owner’s Apple Watch, if available, to determine a theft and activate the same features as Stolen Device Protection. Stolen Device Protection adds a layer of security to sensitive areas on iPhones.
