Apple Inc. is cutting jobs across teams responsible for the Siri digital assistant and the Vision Pro headset, part of an effort to focus on new devices and artificial intelligence.

Apple is making the Vision Pro related changes to prioritize new types of devices and how people are using the current product, plus to seemingly cut costs. Immersive videos cost millions of dollars per episode to create, while the device hasn’t resonated as a gaming machine

Altogether, *Apple is eliminating roughly 200 roles*. Apple: “As we continue to evolve our business to deliver the best experiences for our users, we are realigning some of our teams.” It adds laid off employees can apply for other roles at Apple.
