Apple in the United Kingdom[]
Apple UK website immediately after the passing of Queen Elizabeth II on 8 Sept. 2022.
The first iPhone became available in Germany on November 9, 2007.[2] Apple's UK and Ireland headquarters is presently located at the Hollyhill Industrial Estate in Cork, Republic of Ireland. In 2016, Apple announced plans to open a new UK headquarters at Battersea Power Station in London, which is in the process of being refurbished by 2021. Apple intends to occupy all 6 floors of office space, containing about 500,000 square feet (46450 m2) of room for 1,400 employees.[3][4][5] However, in 2019, Apple leased over 100,000 square feet (9,290 m2) at 22 Bishopsgate to consolidate its London staff who are believed to be working on Apple Pay. The space at Bishopsgate is also part of Apple's contingency plan in case the refurbishment at Battersea is delayed.[6]
