I just learned that Apple has laid off over 400 positions across various departments including AI, mixed reality, hardware management, and sales since August 2026. This news comes from media reports and state employment records, confirming earlier discussions I've seen. It seems like this might be the first of many layoffs with the new leadership taking charge. Some comments I read suggested that Apple has a lot of work to do to match the scale of layoffs seen at companies like Microsoft. It's a stark reminder of the current job market dynamics, especially how companies are adjusting their workforce amidst changing leadership.
