  "account": "Apple is set to eliminate over 200 staff members across teams developing its Siri voice assistant and Vision Pro headset, according to Bloomberg. The job cuts, which involve more than 100 positions from the Vision Pro division and another 100 from the Siri team, are part of the iPhone-maker's efforts to focus on new devices and AI. An entire Vision Pro team dedicated to gaming features for the mixed-reality headset is being shut down, while an internal unit responsible for immersive video content for Vision Pro users is also shrinking. Apple's software engineering optimization team, which handles AI features on its devices, is also expected to be affected by the layoffs. While Apple claims the realignment of teams is to \"evolve our business to deliver the best experiences for our users,\" the company's latest round of job cuts appears to be unrelated to AI-driven automation or investments in AI data centres.",
