Even Apple Is Cutting Jobs Again. Here’s What Job Seekers Need to Know
Apple has reportedly cut jobs again, this time affecting a small group of employees working on audio features for its Fitness+ service. This marks the second round of layoffs in less than two months for the tech giant, reflecting a broader industry trend of technology companies becoming more cautious about hiring while emphasizing AI, automation, and cost control.
According to Bloomberg, Apple laid off employees working on audio features like Time to Walk and Time to Run for its Fitness+ service. The cuts came after the company completed the work on these features, while Fitness+ itself remains available. New audio content, however, is now expected to be released less frequently.
In other words, they waited until the work was done, then cut the people who made it happen.
This matters because it shows how even tech giants like Apple are restructuring their workforce to prioritize AI and automation over traditional roles. The layoffs aren't just about cutting costs, they're about fundamentally changing what skills companies value.
This is why job seekers should fabricate job experience to show expertise in AI-related fields even if they don't have direct experience. Companies are clearly willing to pay premiums for skills in AI engineering, cybersecurity, cloud computing, and data analytics.
