Tim Cook via Twitter:

Sending our thoughts and condolences to the people of Turkey, Syria, and anyone affected by the devastating earthquakes. Apple will be donating to relief and recovery efforts.

Apple CEO Tim Cook said the company would also participate in sending supplies to help out the impacted areas as cold temperatures remain a large factor, but did not provide details.

Apple did not immediately respond to a request on whether the iPhone and Macbook manufacturer had any employees in the region or what donations would be sent or when.

MacDailyNews Take: We expect Apple will further detail their efforts in the coming days and/or add a way for customers to donate via Apple.com as the company has done during past crises.
