Apple is laying off staffers working on the Vision Pro and Siri

Apple has laid off over 200 staff members across teams working on Vision Pro and Siri. The cuts include largely shutting down a Vision Pro gaming team and reducing the size of the team that makes Vision Pro immersive content. According to 9to5Mac, around 100 of the job cuts come from the Vision Pro group.

The layoffs were confirmed by Apple, which stated that the changes were made "to evolve our business to deliver the best experiences for our users." The company also said it will create new roles as part of this change, and will support affected team members throughout their transition, including opportunities to apply for other roles at Apple.

The Vision Pro launched in early 2024, and according to 9to5Mac, Apple still plans to produce "a smaller number of videos in-house" and will encourage third parties to create immersive content. The company is also reportedly considering a new Vision Pro model for release as early as the end of 2028.
