Summary

Apple has laid off employees across its Siri, Vision Pro Gaming and Immersive Video teams as it realigns priorities for spatial computing and the Vision Pro. The report states Apple cut approximately 100 people from its Vision Products Group and an additional 100 roles from the Siri team, totaling about 200 positions impacted. The company said some roles will be created as part of a Siri AI architecture restructure and pledged support for affected employees, while affirming continued support for visionOS despite deprioritizing major enclosed headsets. The reductions follow weak Vision Pro sales (fewer than 600,000 units) high return rates, discontinued accessories, and a shift toward AI-powered smart glasses with delayed launch timelines.
