First Apple store in Turkey opens in April, government requests Siri improvements and R&D

A Turkish government website reports that Tim Cook’s meeting with President Abdullah Gül says that the country’s first Apple Store will open in Istanbul in April.

 

Istanbul seems a good choice since it is one of the largest cities in the world by population with over 14 million residents.

It was also reported that in addition to a rumored $4 billion plan to put iPads into Turkish schools, the two discussed the amount of sales taxes levied on iPhones and iPads and when Apple might include Turkish in the languages supported by Siri with at least some suggesting that the two issues might as well be linked.
