Apple’s new CEO John Ternus has started looking at major changes inside the company, just weeks after taking charge. Reports suggest Ternus wants Apple to become a leaner organization with a stronger focus on engineering and faster product development.
One of the biggest changes being discussed is reducing some middle-management positions. The idea is to create a more direct connection between engineers and top executives and reduce layers inside the company. Apple is also looking at moving away from its traditional spring and fall product cycle and launching products more frequently.
This has naturally raised questions about possible layoffs at Apple. However, Apple has not announced a company-wide layoff plan. Reports say cost-cutting is already happening in some areas, with engineering program-management roles among those affected. Teams working on Siri, Vision Pro and AI software engineering have also seen cuts.
The Apple developments come at a time when layoffs are continuing across the US technology industry.
Workday has announced another round of job cuts, affecting about 2.5% of its workforce, or roughly 500 employees. Most of the affected workers are in its product and technology teams. The company is also reducing some office space while continuing to hire in selected strategic areas.
Other major technology companies have also been restructuring this year. Oracle, Amazon, Meta, Uber and several other companies have announced workforce reductions as they look to control costs, remove management layers and redirect spending toward AI and other priority areas.
Uber, for example, announced plans to cut around 3,300 jobs, with the restructuring aimed at reducing management layers and putting more focus on its core businesses and autonomous driving plans. Oracle has also gone through multiple rounds of workforce reductions this year.
The broader US tech industry has now seen a large number of job cuts in 2026. Crunchbase data showed that US tech layoffs had already reached at least 94,046 between January and August, up 16.8% from the same period last year. Companies have been cutting jobs while shifting more investment toward AI and restructuring their operations.
At the same time, this does not mean the entire US job market is facing a mass layoff wave. US government data showed that layoffs remained relatively low in August, even though job openings declined. Weekly unemployment claims have also remained low.
For Apple employees, the immediate question is how far Ternus will take his leaner-company plan. The current reports point to restructuring and selected cuts rather than a confirmed large-scale Apple layoff. But if the company continues reducing management layers and puts more money and people into engineering and AI, more internal changes could follow in the coming months.
