Apple to Open R&D Facility in Shanghai

Apple has reportedly registered a building in Pudong, Shanghai for use as a Research and Development facility, reports Yicai via BrightWire.

Shanghai Municipal Commission of Commerce has announced that Apple will open its R&D center this summer. Apple has registered three firms in three buildings in Pudong, Shanghai, and one of them will be dedicated to procurement management and R&D, according to documents on the Shanghai Municipal Administration for Industry and Commerce's website.
