Apple’s introduction into Singapore began in 1981 when Apple opened its first office on our shores with only 72 employees. Since then, Apple has grown exponentially to become Apple’s base for their operations in the Asia Pacific as well as a globally recognised centre of innovation and expertise.

In fact, it is now home to over 3,500 Apple team members of 50 different nationalities. Apple also supports over 55,000 jobs in Singapore. 

“We’re thrilled to be celebrating this important milestone with our teams in Singapore, and the customers and communities they serve with creativity and passion,” says Deirdre O’Brien, Apple’s senior vice president of Retail + People. “Together, we’ve created an enduring partnership rooted in our shared values that will empower us to build a brighter tomorrow.”
