Apple reportedly lays off around 60 employees associated with its Vision Pro virtual reality efforts, according to multiple outlets. The job cuts reportedly affect an entire VR-related development group and occur shortly before John Ternus is scheduled to take over as Apple CEO on September 1.
The reported decision is framed as part of a broader internal shift in priorities. One outlet links the cuts to Apple reallocating resources toward Siri-related AI work and smart-glasses efforts, while leaving the Vision Pro programme with a smaller team. Another report similarly describes the layoffs as part of preparations around the leadership transition. Both accounts point to continuity in product focus but differ mainly in how they characterize the scope and surrounding rationale, with one emphasizing the timing relative to the incoming CEO.
