Apple, the most valuable company in the world, will open a research and development center in Herzliya, Israel that will focus on semiconductors, the Israeli newspaper Globes reported on Thursday.

The R&D center would become Apple's first such facility outside of California, and would join other tech titans such as Intel who currently have R&D centers in Israel's version of Silicon Valley, Herzliya.

According to reports, Apple has already hired Israeli high-tech veteran Aharon Aharon to run the center.

Earlier in the week Shalom Life reported on Apple's possible purchase of Anobit, an Israeli high-tech company, for a reported $400-$500 million.

It seems that Apple has realized what the rest of the tech world has known for years; Israel knows technology.
