Apple is reportedly cutting hundreds of jobs from Siri, Vision Pro teams
据报道,苹果公司正在削减 Siri 和 Vision Pro 团队的数百个工作岗位
Apple is chopping down the team behind the Vision Pro, its long-suffering VR headset, while eliminating positions across a number of other teams, Bloomberg reported. 据彭博社报道,苹果公司正在精简其长期表现不佳的 VR 头显 Vision Pro 的开发团队,同时裁减其他多个团队的职位。
Over 200 positions, all told, have been cut, sources told Bloomberg, with around 100 from the Vision Pro team. The other 100 have impacted the team behind Siri and another called Intelligent Systems Experience, which focuses on the integration of AI into devices. 据消息人士向彭博社透露,此次裁员总数超过 200 人,其中约 100 人来自 Vision Pro 团队。另外 100 人则涉及 Siri 团队以及专注于将人工智能集成到设备中的“智能系统体验”(Intelligent Systems Experience)团队。
Sources say the company is reshuffling to focus on its newer AI efforts and new devices. 消息人士称,苹果公司正在进行重组,以专注于其更新的人工智能项目和新设备。
Apple confirmed the cuts to Bloomberg, saying it was looking “to evolve our business to deliver the best experiences for our users.” It added: “While we will create new roles as part of this change, it will also impact a limited number of existing roles.” TechCrunch reached out to Apple for more information. 苹果向彭博社证实了此次裁员,并表示公司正寻求“优化业务,为用户提供最佳体验”。苹果补充道:“虽然我们将在此次变革中创造新的职位,但这也会影响到少数现有岗位。”TechCrunch 已联系苹果公司以获取更多信息。
Apple is currently enduring a bumpy period of transition. The company is attempting to fix its position in AI — while a memory shortage spurred by the AI buildout has also driven up the cost of producing its flagship products. 苹果目前正处于一个动荡的转型期。该公司正试图稳固其在人工智能领域的地位,与此同时,人工智能建设热潮引发的内存短缺也推高了其旗舰产品的生产成本。
Apple raised prices on Macs and iPads earlier this summer, and the company recently introduced a leasing plan for all of its major hardware products — an effort to bring in a broader array of customers as it offsets new costs. The company is also currently suing OpenAI, which it has accused of trade theft. 今年夏天早些时候,苹果提高了 Mac 和 iPad 的价格,并于近期为其所有主要硬件产品推出了租赁计划——此举旨在吸引更广泛的客户群体,以抵消新增成本。此外,苹果目前正在起诉 OpenAI,指控其窃取商业机密。
