苹果正在裁减 Vision Pro 和 Siri 团队的员工
Apple is laying off staff on the Siri and the Vision Pro teams, according to Bloomberg. The cuts include “largely shutting down” a Vision Pro gaming team and “reducing the size” of the team that makes Vision Pro immersive content, the publication says. More than 200 jobs were cut. 据彭博社报道，苹果公司正在裁减 Siri 和 Vision Pro 团队的员工。该报道称，此次裁员包括“基本关闭”Vision Pro 游戏团队，并“缩减”负责制作 Vision Pro 沉浸式内容团队的规模。此次裁员总数超过 200 人。
Apple said in a statement to Bloomberg it was making the changes to “to evolve our business to deliver the best experiences for our users,” though it will be making new roles. The company didn’t immediately reply to a request for comment from The Verge. 苹果在给彭博社的一份声明中表示，进行这些调整是为了“优化业务，从而为用户提供最佳体验”，同时公司也将创造新的职位。苹果公司未立即回复《The Verge》的置评请求。
The Vision Pro launched in early 2024 as Apple’s big bet on “spatial computing,” but the $3,499 headset doesn’t appear to have been a big hit. While Bloomberg reported in May that Apple is working on “a slimmer and lighter headset” to succeed the current Vision Pro (which was updated last year with an M5 chip), a report a few weeks after said that Apple was suspending work with Samsung Display on a display for an entry-level XR machine. Vision Pro 于 2024 年初发布，是苹果在“空间计算”领域的重大押注，但这款售价 3,499 美元的头显似乎并未取得巨大成功。尽管彭博社在五月份报道称，苹果正在研发一款“更轻薄的头显”以接替现有的 Vision Pro（该产品去年升级了 M5 芯片），但几周后的另一份报告指出，苹果已暂停与三星显示器公司（Samsung Display）在入门级 XR 设备显示屏方面的合作。
However, following the success of Meta’s smart glasses, Apple is apparently planning to make its own smart glasses, with Bloomberg reporting recently that Apple plans to announce them at WWDC (typically a June event) in 2027 and launch them by the end of that year. 然而，继 Meta 智能眼镜取得成功后，苹果显然也计划开发自己的智能眼镜。据彭博社近期报道，苹果计划在 2027 年的全球开发者大会（WWDC，通常在 6 月举行）上发布该产品，并于同年年底上市。
The company finally launched its revamped, AI-powered Siri at this year’s WWDC. The new Siri is set to be available to the public in beta later this year. 苹果公司终于在今年的 WWDC 上推出了经过改进、由人工智能驱动的 Siri。全新的 Siri 预计将于今年晚些时候以测试版形式向公众开放。
