\"\"U.S.-based technology giant Apple is looking to break its relations with Bilkom, a local Turkish partner, daily Milliyet reported Friday.<\/p>\n

Apple founded an Istanbul-based company under the name of \u201cApple Technology,\u201d in May, Milliyet said, adding that the company was managed by Apple Europe.<\/p>\n

The executives of Ko\u00e7 Holding, Bilkom\u2019s parent company, announced that the new company would act in concert with Bilkom, Milliyet said.<\/p>\n

Ko\u00e7 Holding had said the new Apple branch in Turkey would aim to speed up the operations in the fast-growing local market.<\/p>\n

The record-breaking iPad is not officially sold in Turkey despite having been on the market for seven months in other countries.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
