Signal Summary

The earlier cuts were estimated at around 100 Vision Products Group jobs, but the reported scope also included device security, audio engineering, Siri integration, testing, and visionOS. The layoffs followed division head Paul Meade’s departure from Apple for OpenAI in June. CEO John Ternus reportedly remains supportive of smart glasses while questioning Vision Pro’s mass-market prospects. The report says smart-glasses project N50 is on track for next year, while Vision Pro successor N224 is not expected before the end of 2028.
