Apple Executive Chairman Tim Cook visited Istanbul on Sunday, stopping at the historic Grand Bazaar and attending an event organized in collaboration with Turkish fashion brand Les Benjamins at the company's Bagdat Street store.
Cook shared moments from his visit on the US social media platform X, including a stop at the Grand Bazaar alongside Turkish content creator Cem Basak, known for his YouTube channel "Filme Gitmeden Once," which focuses on films and television series.
"Merhaba Istanbul! What a stunning view from the Grand Bazaar this morning alongside talented creator Cem Başak. Thrilled to visit this remarkable country!" he wrote.
Cook later visited Apple's Bagdat Street store, where he met employees and attended an event featuring Turkish fashion designer Bunyamin Aydin, founder of Les Benjamins.
The event, titled "From Earth to Sky," highlighted a collaboration between Apple and Les Benjamins to mark the Turkish fashion brand's 15th anniversary.
The Cappadocia-inspired collection was designed by Aydin using an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil Pro, while its sunrise runway show in Cappadocia's Gulludere Valley was filmed by French director Neels Castillon using an iPhone 18 Pro Max.
"A great visit with our incredible teams at Apple Bağdat Street and Benji, the designer and founder of Les Benjamins!" Cook said in another social media post.
Cook served as Apple's chief executive officer from 2011 until September 2026, when he became executive chairman of the company's board of directors, with John Ternus succeeding him as CEO.
