Apple Conducts Second Round of Layoffs Affecting Fitness Team and Audio Features
Apple has conducted a second round of layoffs affecting its Fitness team, specifically employees working on audio features like Time to Walk and Time to Run. While new audio content will continue, releases are expected to slow. These cuts follow earlier layoffs in other Apple divisions and may signal broader cost reductions and restructuring for the Fitness subscription service, which competes with platforms like Peloton. The service remains under the oversight of Apple's services and health leadership.
