Apple is cutting jobs across multiple teams, according to a new Bloomberg<\/em> report<\/a>. All told, the company has cut more than 200 jobs across teams working on Vision Pro, Siri, and software engineering.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In a statement, an Apple spokesperson said the changes were made \u201cto evolve our business to deliver the best experiences for our users.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cWhile we will create new roles as part of this change, it will also impact a limited number of existing roles. We are grateful to these team members for their contributions, and we are committed to supporting them throughout their transition, including opportunities to apply for other roles at Apple.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The report says around 100 of the job cuts come from the Vision Pro group. As part of this, Apple is \u201clargely shutting down a Vision Pro team focused on gaming.\u201d The company is also scaling back the team working on producing Immersive Video for Vision Pro.<\/p>\n

Going forward, Apple still plans to produce \u201ca smaller number of videos in-house\u201d and will also encourage third parties to create immersive content.<\/p>\n

The report continues:<\/p>\n

\n

The company has told employees that the Vision Pro and its visionOS operating system aren\u2019t going away. In the near term, however, Apple is focused on launching smart glasses that wouldn\u2019t support immersive video or advanced gaming titles. The company is still considering a new Vision Pro model for release as early as the end of 2028, Bloomberg News has reported.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Meanwhile, Apple has also cut around 100 positions from its Siri and software teams.<\/p>\n

The Siri reorganization is related to the launch of Siri AI, the report says. Apple\u2019s new Siri AI platform is built on a revamped technical architecture, which changes \u201cthe necessary expertise\u201d required for the Siri team. Apple therefore decided to \u201celiminate a small number of existing roles, reallocate resources and create new positions supporting the updated Siri.\u201d<\/p>\n

Apple\u2019s \u201cIntelligent Systems Experience team\u201d is also impacted by these cuts.<\/p>\n

\n

The changes to the Intelligent Systems Experience team reflect an effort to reorganize work on AI-powered capabilities. As more groups bring AI functions to apps, features and services, Apple is realigning teams to match priorities and accelerate development. The restructuring will eliminate some existing positions while creating new roles.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Today\u2019s Bloomberg<\/em> report builds on an earlier report that said<\/a> Apple had laid off around 60 employees from the Vision Pro team.<\/p>\n
