Apple is cutting more than 200 positions across the teams behind Vision Pro, Siri, and its AI software, in a restructuring that shows where the company is placing its next big bets.

Bloomberg, cited by Digital Trends, puts the Vision Pro toll at roughly 100 jobs, including staff working on gaming and immersive video. That is steeper than the at least 60 VR-related roles AppleInsider reported earlier. The cuts land as Apple pulls back on producing its own immersive content, since individual 3D video episodes can cost several million dollars to make for a headset that still reaches a small audience.

The headset is not being abandoned. Employees have been told Vision Pro and visionOS will continue, and another Vision Pro model could arrive as early as late 2028. But the focus is clearly shifting. Apple’s first smart glasses, internally known as N50, could be unveiled at WWDC 2027 and launch later that year, with camera-related privacy questions partly to blame for the slower timeline.

Siri is also being reshaped as Apple prepares a new AI-powered version of the assistant, with jobs disappearing from the Intelligent Systems Experience team alongside the assistant’s core group.

Together, the moves extend a pattern the smart glasses market has watched all summer: Apple paring back Vision Pro ambitions while treating camera glasses as a priority category. For developers and rivals, the signal is that the center of gravity inside Apple’s spatial computing effort has moved.
