Summary
Apple conducted layoffs tied to its Vision Pro effort in August that affected more than 200 employees across multiple teams. The company previously disclosed around 100 job reductions within the Vision Products Group focused on gaming and immersive video, but reporting shows cuts extended beyond those divisions into device security, audio engineering, Siri integration, testing, and visionOS development. The reductions accompanied strategic shifts under new CEO John Ternus, who canceled the lighter Vision Air product and pushed the next Vision Pro beyond 2028 while moving focus toward lighter smart glasses. Apple said the organizational changes were intended to evolve the business and pledged support for impacted employees, including opportunities to apply for other roles.
