E Via Rancho Pkwy Escondido, CA

Apple reportedly reduced headcount within its Vision Products Group, with at least 60 employees connected to the company’s VR team, Apple Vision Group, and related positions laid off as part of a restructuring. The cuts are said to have affected an entire team focused on VR development as Apple shifts priority toward lighter smart glasses and Siri AI rather than further investment in traditional headset-style products. The move follows weak mainstream adoption of the Apple Vision Pro, attributed to its high price, weight, and limited app support; Apple continues to develop visionOS and is expected to work on future spatial computing versions. Apple has not commented on the reported layoffs, and it is unclear how the reductions will affect future Vision hardware releases amid broader strategic changes under incoming CEO John Ternus.
