Apple Conducts Second Layoff Round, Cuts Jobs in Fitness Audio Team
Apple has conducted a second round of layoffs within two months, this time affecting a small number of employees on its Fitness subscription service's audio team, responsible for features like Time to Walk and Time to Run. While new audio content will be released less frequently, the service is not being discontinued. These cuts follow earlier layoffs in other divisions and reflect Apple's efforts to reduce costs and reassess the Fitness platform's role within its broader health strategy.
