Apple CEO Tim Cook today said Apple would be making a donation to support earthquake relief efforts in Japan.
A magnitude 6.8 earthquake (per the USGS) hit the Kumamoto prefecture on Kyushu island on Tuesday, collapsing buildings and killing at least 34 people.
Japan has a very special place in my heart. We’re thinking of everyone as they continue to face the effects of the Kumamoto earthquake and aftershocks. We’re grateful to the first responders helping those in need. Apple is making a donation to support relief efforts.
— Tim Cook (@tim_cook) July 30, 2026
Aftershocks continued on Wednesday and Thursday. Kyushu is the third largest of Japan’s four main islands, and it has the second-highest population.
Apple often donates to the Red Cross for relief efforts during natural disasters, but donation amounts are not shared. Last night, Cook said Apple was donating to wildfire relief efforts in France, Spain, and other countries.
Kumamoto was previously hit with a deadly earthquake in 2016, and Apple collected donations for Japan through iTunes.
