Apple trims 200+ roles to accelerate its AI pivot

Apple is cutting more than 200 jobs—about 100 from the Vision Pro team and 100 from Siri/Intelligent Systems Experience—as it pivots to a new generative‑AI architecture and reshuffles to rebuild Siri. The moves come as Vision Pro underperformed, and AI‑related costs rise due to a memory shortage; Apple says it will create new roles as part of the transition and has meanwhile raised prices on Macs and iPads and introduced a leasing plan to attract customers.

Apple Restructures Siri and Vision Pro Teams to Accelerate AI Push

Apple is cutting more than 200 jobs across its Siri and Vision Pro teams, including large reductions in Vision Pro’s gaming group and the immersive video unit, as part of a broader realignment to prioritize AI and new devices. The company says some roles will be recreated and others relocated, while it will offer internal transfers. Vision Pro content production will be scaled back in-house in favor of fewer immersive videos and more third‑party content, though Apple stresses Vision Pro and visionOS are not dead. In the near term, Apple will focus resources on future products, with Bloomberg noting a new Vision Pro model could come as early as 2028.}

Apple halts cheaper Vision Pro display project as focus shifts to smart glasses

Apple has suspended development of the cheaper glass-substrate micro-OLED Vision Pro display (G-VR) with Samsung Display and plans to terminate the project by September; mass production was eyed for after 2028 as Apple pivots toward smart glasses. Samsung continues to work on OLED panels for its own devices; the lighter, cheaper ‘Vision Air’ has been canceled, and any new Vision Pro–style device isn’t expected for several years. Vision Pro itself was refreshed in 2025 with an M5 chip and a price hike.

Apple Bets on Ultra-Light AR Glasses for Mass Market, With Display-Enabled Versions Years Away

Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo suggests Apple will pivot from the bulky Vision Pro toward lightweight AR glasses aimed at broad adoption, with a display-less model due in 2027 and a display-enabled version not arriving until 2029; Vision Pro itself may be deprioritized or out of active development. The glasses are expected to run different OSes based on whether they’re connected to a Mac or iPhone, and Apple’s move to a 2nm silicon process could enable thinner form factors, though battery life and public acceptance remain hurdles.
