Apple laid off more than 600 employees in California as part of ending its car and smartwatch display projects due to cost concerns and engineering challenges. The job cuts affected employees at multiple Apple offices, with the car project being canceled due to indecision among executives. Some employees transitioned to work on artificial intelligence or personal robotics. The layoffs are likely an undercount as staff in other states were also involved. Apple employed 161,000 full-time employees as of September 30, as disclosed in its annual report.
