Apple is reportedly cutting hundreds of jobs from Siri, Vision Pro teams

Summarized from techcrunch.com


Apple is reportedly cutting hundreds of jobs from its Vision Pro and Siri teams as part of a broader restructuring effort focused on AI efforts and new devices. Over 200 positions have been eliminated, with around 100 coming from the Vision Pro team and another 100 impacting the Intelligent Systems Experience team responsible for integrating AI into devices. Apple confirmed these cuts to Bloomberg, stating that while it will create new roles as part of this change, it will also impact a limited number of existing roles.

The company is currently undergoing a period of transition amid challenges such as fixing its position in AI and dealing with memory shortages driving up the cost of producing flagship products. To offset these costs, Apple has raised prices on Macs and iPads earlier this summer and introduced a leasing plan for all major hardware products. Additionally, the company is suing OpenAI over allegations of trade theft.
