Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra Review: The Best Z Fold Yet
Samsung has fixed almost everything with last year's Fold 7. The display crease on the main display is nearly gone, the screen handles sunlight better now, the battery is bigger on paper, and the performance is legitimately flagship-tier. The camera's better too, mostly thanks to a much-improved ultrawide lens. What didn't get fixed is the telephoto camera, and the design, which still looks like last year's phone. Add in another price hike, and Ultra starts to feel more like a marketing gimmick.

Wrap aluminium foil around your plants: Heres what this simple household hack can do in your garden
Wrap aluminium foil around your plants: Gardeners can use reflective aluminium foil around young plants to help deter aphids. The reflective surface can interfere with how some flying insects locate plants, and research suggests this method is most effective when used around small vegetable plants. However, tightly wrapping foil around plant stems can restrict growth and potentially damage the plant.

What Happens After You Apply For A Transplant?
Applying for an organ transplant is only the beginning. In India, a patients journey can involve medical evaluation, documentation, registry enrolment, waitlist priority, organ matching, allocation, surgery and lifelong follow-up. The process is coordinated across transplant centres, NOTTO, ROTTOs, SOTTOs and regulatory authorities. But being registered does not mean simply waiting in a queue. Medical urgency, compatibility, organ-specific criteria and clinical status can determine priority, while a suitable organ may still take years to become available. When an organ is offered, the clock starts ticking, with limited preservation windows making retrieval, matching and transport critical. Here is what happens after a patient applies and why registration is only the first step.

Top Stories Apple's Camera-Equipped AirPods Confirmed: See Them in Action Apple is working on camera-equipped AirPods that are nearly ready to launch , based on a video MacRumors found in the macOS Tahoe 26.7 release candidate.

All users in the home will be able to see the widgets installed on the home hub, but content in widgets will only be visible when the primary linked device is in the home for privacy protection. The device will also feature a Smart Stack similar to that found on watchOS, which rotates through a variety of widgets and automatically displays the most relevant one at any given time based on time of day, usage habits, and other criteria. 30 New Things Your iPhone Can Do in iOS 27 Apple will release iOS 27 in September, and despite the company's focus this year on refining its flagship operating system and nixing bugs, there are still many additional features on the way, not least of which is Apple's new context-aware Siri, re-tooled for the generative AI era.

Macworld Apple has officially unveiled macOS 27 Golden Gate, the next major update for the Mac, bringing Apples next-generation Apple Intelligence platform to compatible devices. The update introduces an all-new Siri AI assistant, major upgrades to apps including Safari, Photos, Messages, Mail and Calendar, as well as expanded child safety features, design refinements and performance improvements throughout the operating system. Golden Gate continues Apples tradition of naming macOS releases after iconic Californian landmarks. Among the headline additions are Siri AI, a completely redesigned version of Siri powered by Apple Intelligence, new AI-powered tools across Apples apps, enhanced photo editing capabilities, smarter web browsing in Safari, and new automation features that make it easier to get things done on a Mac. macOS 27 will be supported on all Macs powered by Apple silicon, marking the end of the road for Intel-based Macs. While Intel models are no longer eligible for the new operating system, Apple is expected to continue providing security updates for those devices for some time. The developer and public betas of macOS 27 are available now. Following several months of testing, Apple is expected to release the finished version to all users this autumn. This hub covers everything Apple has announced for macOS 27 Golden Gate, including new features, compatibility details, beta release information, Apple Intelligence enhancements and the all-new Siri AI experience. Whats New in macOS 27 Golden Gate at a glance Apple Siri AI : A completely redesigned Siri powered by Apple Intelligence that can understand personal context, answer questions from the web, and take actions across apps. Visual Intelligence on Mac : Ask questions about anything on your screen, including images, files and text, using a dedicated shortcut. Safari AI Tools : Automatically groups related tabs, monitors websites for changes such as price drops, and can even generate custom extensions from a description. Apple Intelligence across apps : Adds AI-powered features to Messages, Mail, Calendar, Photos and Shortcuts to help write, organise, edit and automate tasks. Child Safety Upgrades : Introduces Ask to Browse, Time Allowances, enhanced Communication Safety and redesigned parental controls to help keep children safe online. Siri AI: Siri powered macOS 27 features Foiundry Apples biggest focus in macOS 27 Golden Gate is Siri AI, a completely redesigned version of Siri powered by Apple Intelligence. Rather than functioning as a simple voice assistant, Siri AI is designed to act as a conversational AI assistant that can answer questions, understand personal information, access web knowledge, and perform actions across apps and services. At a glance: Whats new with Siri AI? Conversational AI assistant : Siri AI will be far more capable than previous versions of Siri, according to Apple, allowing users to ask open-ended questions, brainstorm ideas, conduct research, and hold natural back-and-forth conversations rather than relying on simple voice commands. Dedicated Siri app : macOS 27 will offer a standalone Siri app that stores conversations in one place and sync them across Apple devices through iCloud. For example, users could start a conversation on their Mac and continue it later on their iPhone or iPad. Personal context awareness : Siri will be able to understand information stored across your messages, emails, notes, photos and files. Apple says Siri will be able to locate specific information, find content youve saved in the past, and surface relevant details based on your personal data. Web-powered answers : Unlike previous versions of Siri, Siri AI will be able to access up-to-date information from the web to answer questions on virtually any topic. Apple says it will be able to help with research, interview preparation, learning new subjects and gathering information quickly. App actions and automation : Siri AI will be able to take action across apps including Messages, Music, Reminders and more. Users will be able to edit messages, manage playlists, create reminders and perform other tasks using natural language rather than navigating menus manually. Spotlight integration : Siri AI will be built directly into Spotlight Search on macOS. Users will be able to type questions into Spotlight, receive AI-generated answers, and launch Siri-powered searches without opening a separate app or switching to a web browser. Visual Intelligence on Mac : For the first time, Visual Intelligence is coming to macOS. Users will be able to select content on screen and ask Siri questions about images, files, documents and text, allowing the assistant to understand and respond to onscreen content. Integrated Writing Tools : Siri AI will generate text from scratch, rewrite drafts, summarise content and refine existing writing. Apple says it will even adapt its tone, wording and punctuation to match how users typically communicate with individual contacts. Improved dictation : Apple says it will significantly upgrade systemwide dictation with better speech recognition. Dictation will automatically add punctuation, capitalisation and formatting while improving accuracy, making it easier to turn spoken words into polished text. Custom Siri voices : Users will be able to personalise Siri by selecting a voice and adjusting its pace and expressiveness. Apple says this allows Siri to sound more natural and better suited to individual preferences, although the feature requires newer Apple silicon hardware. Availability : Apple says Siri AI will enter beta later this year and initially support English. It requires Apple Intelligence-compatible hardware. Apple Intelligence across macOS 27 As well as powering Siri, the enhanced Apple Intelligence will power some other systemwide features in macOS 27. Systemwide Proofreading : Apple Intelligence will provide automatic proofreading and improved spelling and grammar suggestions throughout the operating system. Intelligent File and Folder Naming : In macOS 27 names for files and folders will be automatically suggested based on their contents. Privacy : Apple emphasised that the new AI architecture maintains privacy protections. Apple claims Apple Intelligence continues to use on-device processing whenever possible and relies on Private Cloud Compute when additional processing power is required. Personal data processed through Private Cloud Compute is not stored or made accessible to Apple, and the system remains open to independent verification by security researchers. Safari features coming in macOS 27 Notify Me in Safari Apple Safari is set to gain several Apple Intelligence-powered features in macOS 27, including the ability to automatically organise tabs into topics, monitor webpages for changes such as price drops and restocks with Notify Me, and generate custom browser extensions from a text description. Automatic Tab Topics : Safari will be able to automatically group related tabs into topics. Apple says that by continually organizing tabs as users browse, Safari will help keep research and projects organized. Notify Me : Safari will be able to monitor web pages for changes. For example, users will be able to ask Safari to watch for product restocks, price changes, or other updates and receive notifications when those changes occur. Describe an Extension : Users will be able to create custom Safari extensions simply by describing what they want. Apple says Safari can generate the extension directly from a text description and add it to the toolbar. Messages and Mail features coming in macOS 27 Messages and Mail are to gain deeper Apple Intelligence integration in macOS 27. For example, Mail and Messages are will offer smarter Smart Reply suggestions that can reflect a users personal writing style. One-Tap Suggestions in Messages : Messages will suggest actions based on conversation context. Apple says users will be able to quickly create reminders, notes, or perform other tasks directly from a conversation. Smarter Photo Suggestions : Messages will identify and surface relevant photos based on keywords, people, and locations mentioned in chats. Personalized Smart Reply : Both Messages and Mail will be able to mimic a users writing style depending on the recipient for a Smart Reply. More Relevant Search in Mail : Mail will introduce a new search ranking system designed to surface the most relevant results first. Photos features coming in macOS 27 A new suite of AI-powered editing tools are coming to Photos in macOS 27 that should make it easier to transform and improve photos without needing advanced editing skills. Spatial Reframing : It will be possible to intelligently reframe images, recomposing images after theyve been taken. Extend Tool : A new Extend tool will expand photos beyond their original boundaries. Enhanced Clean Up : The updated Clean Up tool will be able to remove larger unwanted objects from images more effectively than it can presently. Design and Interface Changes in macOS 27 Apple macOS Golden Gate will feature several UI tweaks that address some of the criticisms of macOS 26s Liquid Glass. For example, macOS 27 will offer improved readability and stronger contrast than Liquid Glass does currently. Changes include: Improved readability with more refined Liquid Glass effects throughout macOS. Better contrast to make interface elements easier to distinguish. More consistent refraction effects across windows, menus and controls. Updated toolbars with a cleaner, more unified design. Edge-to-edge sidebars that extend fully to the edge of windows rather than appearing to float. Refreshed menu bar icons with a more polished appearance. Background bars behind window controls to make icon clusters stand out more clearly. More consistent rounded window corners throughout the operating system. Liquid Glass app icons that add greater depth and a more three-dimensional look. Customisable Liquid Glass appearance, allowing users to adjust the effect from ultra-clear to fully tinted. Performance Improvements in macOS 27 Apple says macOS 27 delivers performance improvements throughout the operating system, including: Faster AirDrop transfers Faster network file browsing Faster Safari start page loading macOS 27 will also add support for higher-resolution ultrawide displays, including 5K at 120Hz. Display arrangements will also be remembered more reliably when reconnecting monitors. macOS 27 Compatible Macs The MacBook Neo and other Macs in Apples current lineup will all be compatible with macOS 27. Foundry Apple confirmed that macOS 27 Golden Gate is compatible with: MacBook Neo (A18 Pro, 2026) MacBook Air (Apple silicon, 2020 and later) MacBook Pro (Apple silicon, 2020 and later) iMac (Apple silicon, 2021 and later) Mac mini (Apple silicon, 2020 and later) Mac Studio (2022 and later) Mac Pro (Apple silicon, 2023 and later) All those Macs will be able to support Apple Intelligence, but some Siri AI features require M3 with at least 12GB of unified memory or later. macOS 27 release date: When will macOS 27 be available? First developer beta: June 8, 2026 First public beta: July 13 2026 Final version: September 2026 Apple debut macOS 27 in a keynote at WWDC26 . The official version of macOS 27 will not be available until later in 2026. In recent years, Apple has released macOS at the same time as iOS. The iOS release has been happening during the second week of September, so Monday, September 14, is our guess as to when macOS 27 becomes available to everyone. When will the macOS 27 beta be released? Apple However, it isnt necessary to wait until the fall to try out the new features in macOS 27. Apple released the first developer beta at WWDC. The first public beta became available on July 13, 2026. The beta cycle includes several iterations as Apple refines the software. Heres how you can participate in the beta program . We have an Apple WWDC event blog if you want to read expert commentary and our immediate reactions and what the WWDC news means to you. FAQ 1. When is macOS 27 coming out Apple hasnt confirmed exactly when macOS 27 will be available to install, but it usually launches to the general public in September, or at the latest October. Once macOS 27 launches Apple will likely continue beta development to test new features that werent available at launch. 2. Should I install the macOS 27 beta? Whether you should install the macOS 27 beta depends on your needs, technical expertise, and tolerance for bugs and instability. Beta software can introduce crashes, data loss, app compatibility problems, excessive battery drain, reduced performance, and other unexpected issues. For most users, the recommendation is simple: dont install it. If youre eager to try the new features, its better to wait for the Public Beta and avoid installing it on your primary Mac. Developers are a different case. The Developer Beta is available now through Apples Developer Program, allowing app creators to test their software against new APIs, frameworks, and system features before the public release. If youre not a developer, think carefully before installing the Developer Beta, as it is typically less stable and more prone to bugs than later beta releases. Regardless of which beta you choose, make sure you have a complete backup of your Mac before upgrading. 3. Which Macs get macOS 27 All M-series Macs will get macOS 27, and the MacBook Neo. Certain Siri features will only be available for M3 Macs and newer. 4. Should Intel Mac owners upgrade now? Intel Mac owners should upgrade to Apple Silicon as soon as possible. The transition away from Intel hardware has reached a critical turning point, with software support rapidly vanishing and a new generation of affordable entry-level hardware making the switch more accessible than ever. Apple has confirmed that macOS 27 will not support any Intel-based Macs. While a small number of Intel models may receive security patches for older versions of macOS until September 2028, they are already excluded from modern flagship features. Those with Intel Macs also miss out on many features, including Apple Intelligence. 5. What does the end of Rosetta support mean? macOS 27 will end support for Rosetta 2, Apples translation technology that allows Intel-based Mac apps to run on Apple Silicon Macs. The end of Rosetta 2 support marks the final stage of Apples transition away from Intel-based architecture, effectively terminating the ability of M-series Macs to run older software designed for Intel processors. Rosetta 2 has served as a translator or transition layer since 2020, allowing Apple silicon to execute x86_64 instructions. The move further accelerates Apples transition away from Intel-era software. As of the macOS 26.4 update, users are already seeing Rosetta 2 warnings. 6. When is macOS usually updated? Here is a history of release dates for macOS: macOS 26 Tahoe: September 15, 2025 macOS 15 Sequoia: September 16, 2024 macOS 14 Sonoma: September 26, 2023 macOS 13 Ventura: October 25, 2022 macOS 12 Monterey: October 25, 2021 macOS 11 Big Sur: November 19, 2020 macOS 10.15 Catalina: October 7, 2019 macOS 10.14 Mojave: September 24, 2018 macOS 10.13 High Sierra: September 25, 2017 macOS 10.12 Sierra: September 20, 2016

10 Ways to Improve Your iPhone
When you're at home or work with regular access to an iPhone charger, you probably don't need to worry much about your iPhone's battery. On days when you're away from home for long stretches, you might want to make some adjustments to extend battery life. We've rounded up 10 tips that can cut down on battery drain. 1. Turn on Adaptive Power The best way to preserve battery life is to make sure you have Adaptive Power turned on. It's an iOS 26 feature that's available on Apple Intelligence iPhones. It uses on-device intelligence to analyze usage patterns and determine when you might need extra power. It saves battery by lowering screen brightness a bit, adjusting performance, and limiting background activity. It also turns on Low Power Mode automatically when your battery hits 20 percent. If you have an iPhone 17 , iPhone 17 Pro , iPhone 17 Pro Max, or iPhone Air , Adaptive Power is on by default, but you need to turn it on with other models. Adaptive Power can be activated on eligible iPhones in Settings & Battery & Power Mode. 2. Set Up Automations for Low Power Mode Turning on Low Power Mode is the most obvious way to extend battery life on your iPhone, and you can automate it so it turns on at a set battery percentage. Apple will prompt you to turn on Low Power Mode when your battery is at 20 percent, but it's helpful to turn it on earlier. To set up a Low Power Mode shortcut, open up the Shortcuts app, and create a new Automation. With iOS 27 , you can just type in what you want the automation to do, but in iOS 26, search for Battery Level, choose a target battery percentage, then add Low Power Mode as the action to turn on when your battery hits that level. 3. Turn Off the Always-On Display Your iPhone's Always-On Display leaves the time, wallpaper, widgets, and Live Activities visible on the Lock Screen even when your iPhone is locked. The setting preserves battery by doing things like turning off the display when a connected Apple Watch is no longer nearby (signaling that the iPhone owner is out of the room) or the iPhone is in a pocket, but Always-On Display still drains battery faster than no Always-On Display. You can turn off the Always-On Display by following these steps: Open up the Settings app. Tap on Display & Brightness. Tap on Always-On Display. Toggle off Always-On Display. You can also customize the Always-On Display if you don't want to turn it off entirely. You can disable wallpapers or turn off notifications. 4. Limit Frame Rate Some iPhones have a 120Hz ProMotion refresh rate, but dropping it down to 60Hz can eke out a bit more battery life. You can adjust frame rate by using an Accessibility setting. Open up the Accessibility section of the Settings app. Tap on Motion. Toggle on Limit Frame Rate. ProMotion is available on all iPhone 17 models, the iPhone Air, and Pro versions of earlier iPhones dating back to the iPhone 13 Pro. 5. Turn on Dark Mode On OLED iPhone displays, activating Dark Mode preserves battery life because there's less power draw when darker-colored pixels are displayed. Activating Dark Mode when outside on a sunny day can preserve a good amount of battery life. Lower levels of brightness in Light Mode use the same battery as higher levels of brightness in Dark Mode, so Dark Mode can save battery even with brightness turned up when you're in a sunny location. When you're somewhere that has dimmer lighting and screen brightness is lower, turning on Dark Mode won't save as much battery life, but it still draws a little less power. 6. Audit Apps With Location Access It's a good idea to regularly check your privacy and access settings to make sure apps and services aren't doing things you don't want them to be doing. Limiting the apps that have access to your location and how often apps can access that data can save battery life. Open up the Settings app. Choose Privacy & Security. Tap Location Services. Review the list and edit settings by tapping on the name of each app in the list. You have four possible choices for location settings for each app, though not all four choices will always be available for every app depending on what it does. You can select the following: Never, Ask Next Time Or When I Share, While Using the App, and Always. Never will prevent an app from ever accessing your location, and unless there's a real need for an app to know where you are, such as a mapping app, setting location access to Never is the best choice. Ask Next Time Or When I Share will prompt an app to ask you with a pop-up the next time that it wants your location, so you can temporarily approve it. With this setting, location access is off until expressly allowed via the pop-up. While Using the App lets an app access your location when the app is open and being actively used. If you close the app or switch over to another app, location access ends. Always allows an app to have access to your location at all times, regardless of whether it's open or closed. This will cause the most battery drain and should be limited to only the apps that you need the most. Many apps that don't need location information will ask for your location information. A banking app may want location access to show nearby ATMs, and a social media app like Facebook may want to serve you location-based features. Clearing the cruft will ensure no apps are accessing your location without express permission, and it'll save battery life at the same time. You can also turn off Location Services entirely, but it's not ideal because it can impact apps you rely on, like Maps. 7. Rein in Background App Refresh Most apps use background refresh to update even when they're not open. Limiting background activity to just the apps that need it is a classic way to cut down on battery usage. It's also another one of the privacy-related options that's just good to check regularly. You can turn off Background App Refresh entirely or choose which apps can refresh in the background. Open the Settings app. Select General. Tap on Background App Refresh. From there, you can tap on the Background App Refresh option to turn it off altogether or choose to have it activate only when connected to Wi-Fi, which doesn't drain battery as much as downloading over cellular. 8. Limit Live Activities and Notifications Incoming notifications wake your screen, and Live Activities keep the Lock Screen updated constantly. Limiting the apps that can send you notifications and Live Activities saves battery life. Under Settings & Notifications, go through the list and turn off notifications for apps you don't need to hear from. After that, you can further refine with Focus modes. Focus modes let you choose which apps and people can send you notifications and when. Open the Settings app. Scroll down to Focus and tap it. Tap on the + button. Follow the instructions to choose a Focus mode and the apps you want to use with it. During work hours, you can make sure you're only getting work notifications, and during personal time, you can limit work notifications. You can set up Focus modes for all kinds of situations, from driving to workouts to sleep. You'll still get all of your notifications, but silently. Turning off unwanted notifications from apps is still the best method for saving battery life, but Focus lets you keep your notifications while still cutting down on the number that you receive at any given time. Scheduled Summary is another way to limit your notifications because you can have non-urgent alerts sent at a scheduled time. You can toggle on Scheduled Summary for apps in the Notifications section of the Settings app, where you can choose which apps should have their notifications included in Scheduled Summary and when you want them delivered. 9. Turn Off Keyboard Haptics Haptic feedback on the iPhone's keyboard is satisfying to feel when you tap on the on-screen keys, but it can drain your battery . You can turn it off by going to Settings & Sounds & Haptics & Keyboard Feedback and toggling off Haptic. 10. Monitor Your Battery Usage and Adjust In iOS 26, Apple made it easier to see which of your apps are draining the most battery. The top of the Battery interface has an overview of your current battery level and the time that you last charged. If your iPhone is charging, it also lets you know how much time you have left until the battery is full. There is a weekly view of average battery use along with how much battery you're currently using compared to your typical average. The comparison tells you if you're using more, the same, or less battery life than you do on most days. It shows which apps used more battery and by how much, which makes it easier to tell what's draining your battery. It also displays why an app used more battery, such as background app refresh or an excessive number of notifications. Apps draining a lot of battery are shown in orange so they stand out, and that's where it's best to make adjustments.

Hidden macOS code reveals new details about AirPods with cameras
Macworld Thanks to a video accidentally included in the macOS 26.7 beta , we got our first real confirmation that Apple is, as rumored, working on AirPods with cameras in them. Despite the video and references being found in such a recent beta, were assured that this product isnt actually shipping until next year. Now, thanks to an eagle-eyed member of the MacRumors forums , we have some idea of the capabilities of the in-development AirPods with cameras. The user found a framework called AccessorySensorManager that provides some details of how these things might work. First, it appears that the AirPods do not take images for you to save. Instead, they send still images in the background for Visual Intelligence to process, but nothing gets saved to your Photos app or anything like that. The cameras seemingly operate in two modes: active and passive. Active mode is when a request is made (such as asking Siri), and each earbud captures a 640640 image and returns a 10241024 processed image to your iPhone. In Passive mode, the cameras take really low-resolution 320320 or 512512 images at a continuous rate. While the framework focuses on standard color images, there may be other capabilities not listed, such as infrared spectrum captures. Passive mode seems to be for background environment detectionto see if theres a person in front of you, if you moved to a busy street, and so on. The actual camera sensors may be higher resolution, but for a variety of reasons (bandwidth, battery life, processing speed, etc.) Apple seems to be using lower-res images. Theres mention of some processing capabilities such as lens distortion correction, dual camera calibration, and compensation for head motion. While the earbuds can take multiple images in a series, there is no video recording. The framework includes control for a hardware indicator and its brightness, which likely means that both earbuds will have some sort of recording light. This is all subject to change, of course, especially since these AirPods arent expected to arrive until next fall. Test features revealed in beta frameworks are sometimes incomplete or dont take into account later optimizations or hardware changes.
Apple is reportedly cutting hundreds of jobs from Siri, Vision Pro teams
Apple has admitted that some roles are being impacted as it shifts its focus away from certain initiatives.
Apple lays off 200 employees to focus on
Macworld According to a report by Bloomberg, Apple is laying off and realigning several employees in multiple departments in order to focus on new devices and artificial intelligence. About 200 employees are affected. The Vision Pro team has eliminated 100 jobs, with most of the cuts happening in teams focused on gaming and immersive video, according to the report. Bloomberg says employees were told that the changes are being made to better address how the Vision Pro is being used by its customers. Immersive video, in particular, is an expensive endeavor that has strained the business given the limited number of active Vision Pro users. The other 100 eliminated jobs were from the Siri and software teams. With the shift from Siri as a voice-activated interface to the new Siri AI , Apple needs to redefine the Siri team with a change in the necessary expertise. Apple is also reorganizing its Intelligent Systems Experience team to focus its efforts on AI. In response to the report, Apple released the following statement to Bloomberg: While we will create new roles as part of this change, it will also impact a limited number of existing roles. We are grateful to these team members for their contributions, and we are committed to supporting them throughout their transition, including opportunities to apply for other roles at Apple. Apple statement released to Bloomberg While job cuts are never a good sign, no one would be surprised by Apples reasoning behind them. The Vision Pro was released over two years ago (with an M5 update in October 2025), and if it has made an impact, its in specific niche marketsit has not made an impression with the general public. Reports have said that Apple shifted its focus from developing a low-cost Vision Pro headset to smart glasses that would compete with the likes of Meta. The only thing surprising about the layoffs with the Siri team is that they didnt happen sooner. Siri AI has been in development for quite some time now, so a reorganization seems to be part of the process.

Apple cuts more than 200 jobs across Siri and Vision Pro

Apple Guts Vision Pro Gaming and Immersive Video Teams, Trims Siri Staff
In addition to cutting dozens of Vision Pro employees who worked on features like immersive video and gaming, Apple is laying off people who worked on Siri and AI, reports Bloomberg . Apple is largely shutting down the Vision Pro team focused on gaming, and it is paring down the team that makes immersive video content. Approximately 100 employees who were part of the Vision Products Group have been laid off, with Apple also cutting 100 people from its Siri and software groups. Vision Pro employees were told Apple is realigning its priorities based on how customers are using the device, suggesting immersive video has not worked out. Bloomberg says the immersive videos Apple produces can cost millions of dollars to film, and it has not been cost-effective because so few people actively use the device. Apple plans to make a smaller number of videos in-house and rely on third-party 3D content. On the Siri team, Apple is creating new positions for the shift to Siri AI and prioritizing work on AI features. The company told Bloomberg that it is overhauling some of its teams to evolve its business and deliver a better experience for customers. Affected employees will be able to apply for other positions at Apple. While we will create new roles as part of this change, it will also impact a limited number of existing roles. We are grateful to these team members for their contributions, and we are committed to supporting them throughout their transition, including opportunities to apply for other roles at Apple. Despite the cuts to the Vision Products Group, employees were told that the Vision Pro and visionOS operating system are not being eliminated. Apple continues to work on AI smart glasses expected in 2027, but that device will not support 3D gaming or video.
