Apple cuts 200+ roles from Vision Pro, Siri and software teams

# What happened Apple has laid off more than 200 employees across teams working on Vision Pro, Siri, and software engineering. The cuts span work on Vision Pro gaming and immersive video and a separate reorganization of Siri and the Intelligent Systems Experience team tied to a new Siri AI architecture.

# How the Vision Pro organization changed

Employees were told the Vision Pro device and visionOS are not being discontinued. In the near term, Apple's product focus is moving toward smart glasses that won't support immersive video or advanced gaming titles. Bloomberg reported the company is still considering a new Vision Pro model that could arrive as early as the end of 2028.

# What changed with Siri and software teams

Apple realigns work on AI-powered capabilities across groups. The reorganizations reflect the company's approach to move AI functions into app and service teams and match staffing with those priorities.

# Apple's public statement Apple described the moves as changes made "to evolve our business to deliver the best experiences for our users." The company added it will create new roles as part of the change, acknowledged the cuts will affect a limited number of existing roles, and said it is committed to supporting affected employees during their transition, including offering opportunities to apply for other roles at Apple.

# Context and near-term implications Reports noted earlier, smaller Vision Pro cuts. Bloomberg and other outlets framed the latest round as an effort to realign resources around product demand and new technical priorities. For Vision Pro users and developers, the shift means fewer in-house immersive productions and more reliance on third-party content. For Siri and AI work, expect hiring and roles to emphasize the skills tied to the updated Siri AI platform and cross-team integration of AI features.

# What to watch next

• Whether Apple formally announces a roadmap for the slimmer smart glasses referenced to replace some Vision Pro ambitions.
• Job postings and new role descriptions for Siri AI and Intelligent Systems Experience work that will signal the specific expertise Apple now prioritizes.
