Apple cuts more than 200 jobs across Siri and Vision Pro teams amid AI push

Apple is cutting more than 200 jobs across its Siri, artificial intelligence, and Vision Pro teams as the company shifts resources towards new devices and AI-powered products, according to Bloomberg. The cuts affect about 100 positions within Siri and software teams, alongside another 100 jobs being eliminated from the Vision Pro organization.

This restructuring is linked to an upcoming AI-focused version of Siri and aims to streamline resources for future products. Apple's Vision Pro headset, launched in February 2024, has faced limited demand due to its high price and bulky design, prompting the company to reduce its focus on the device and encourage third-party content creation.

Despite these layoffs, Apple maintains that Vision Pro and its visionOS operating system will continue, with plans to explore smart glasses and a potential new Vision Pro model by late 2028.
