Apple has laid off employees in its Vision Pro and Siri teams as it shifts focus to smart glasses and next-gen AI tech, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reported. The cuts are said to affect around 200 workers, with 100 cuts in the Vision Pro division and another 100 in the Siri and software divisions. The Vision Pro layoffs are focused largely on gaming and immersive video teams, according to the report. The Siri cuts, meanwhile, are aimed at teams working on the old version of the Siri assistant, as the new Siri AI system requires personnel with a different type of expertise. Apple acknowledged that it was making cuts and realigning teams based on a changing product mix. "While we will create new roles as part of this change, it will also impact a limited number of existing roles," the company said.

We typically expect Mark Gurman at Bloomberg to have the latest tips on Apple tech, but today he's sharing info about OpenAI's planned move into hardware. After reporting a wave of details last month about the smart speaker in development at the AI company, today he's got additional insights about the device. Sources told Gurman that the product would have a ring-shaped design about the size of a hockey puck. The form factor is meant to be battery-powered and portable, so a user could easily carry it around with them. It reportedly has components that will be able to move on their own, which seem intended to make the product more lifelike and engaging.

Apple is still holding some of its iOS 27 cards close to its chest. Beyond the upcoming teasers shown off at WWDC 2026, 's Mark Gurman reported that there are three more unannounced features coming with iOS 27. In the newsletter, Gurman said Apple is working on a new watch face, a customizable Camera app and functionality for third-party chatbots within Siri. Gurman said he's unsure why these feature weren't shown off, but some of them are confirmed as they already exist within the developer beta for iOS 27. According to Gurman, a new watch face will likely arrive when Apple refreshes its smartwatches in the fall. Previous rumors detailed that an upcoming watch face could be based on the Modular Ultra option that's exclusive to the Apple Watch Ultra, but one that's more simplified and designed for the other Apple Watch products.

Here's what Apple's Siri overhaul for iOS 27 could look like Here's what Apple's Siri overhaul for iOS 27 could look like Apple is reportedly redesigning the iPhone's interface around the new Siri. After nearly two years of delays and a $250 million settlement along the way, Apple is preparing to reintroduce the new Siri at WWDC 2026 . Mark Gurman has published an early preview of the update with illustrations that provide a glimpse of how Apple has redesigned the iPhone's interface to put the Gemini-powered AI agent front and center. The company often tests multiple designs of features internally, and the final version set to be introduced to the public in June could differ, Gurman warns, before stating Apple could release the new Siri as early as this September. As you can see from the illustrations shared, Siri will now live inside the iPhone's dynamic island.

Apple's new Siri app will reportedly offer auto-deleting chat options Apple's new Siri app will reportedly offer auto-deleting chat options Apple might have a secret weapon for its revamped Siri that could help it compete against other AI chatbots. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reported that Apple will introduce a feature that automatically deletes chats, as seen in its Messages app, to the updated Siri. According to Gurman, users will get a Siri setting that toggles between saving chatlogs for 30 days, a year or forever. Gurman added that Apple will also offer an option of whether Siri launches with the context of its previous conversation or starts a completely new chat. However, automatically deleting chatlogs comes with a serious downside. Most LLMs prefer swallowing up as much personal data from chats as possible to enhance its capabilities and better tailor its future responses.

Well, it seems like those-rumored AirPods with cameras are close to being real, according to the latest report from Mark Gurman . The new earbuds are said to use low-resolution cameras on their stalks to capture low-resolution imagery, which will ultimately be fed to Apple's long-delayed AI Siri assistant. And the more I hear about them, the more they sound like Meta's Ray-Ban smart glasses, just without the ability to take clear photos and videos. The camera-equipped Airpods are reportedly in Apple's design validation testing (DVT) stage, where workers are using prototypes to test their capabilities. There's no word on when we may actually see them, but according to Gurman they were initially slated to debut as early as the first half of 2026, only to be pushed back by AI Siri delays.

We already know Apple is secretly preparing its first ever foldable iPhone. But now, keen tech fans have just got a new hint at what it may look like. According to a leak from a veteran Apple analyst, Mark Gurman of Bloomberg, the'iPhone Fold' will see some major design changes. And Mr Gurman claims that anyone who tries the new foldable device will'never want to go back'. Although it has been rumoured for years, it now looks almost certain that Apple is planning to unveil the folding iPhone in September 2026.

Although their specs and features are updated every year, Apple's iPhones maintain the same general size and shape. But according to a new report, the tech giant is preparing a radical new form factor for one of its upcoming handsets. Apple tipster Mark Gurman claims the trillion-dollar tech company is working on a'mostly glass, curved iPhone'. The device will come'without any cutouts in the display', he claims, such as a notch at the top or a small circle for a front-facing camera. It will hit the shelves in a couple of years to mark 20 years since the very first iPhone went on sale – June 29, 2007.

It may be a while still before we see the smart home hub Apple is rumored to be working on. According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, the company has postponed the announcement of the upcoming product due to the issues it's run into developing its "smarter" Siri. Gurman reported last month that the release of Apple's upgraded Siri may be delayed, and Apple confirmed as much in a statement to Daring Fireball last week, saying it expects to roll out Siri's more personalized features "in the coming year." The smart home hub, according to Gurman, "to an extent, relies on the delayed Siri capabilities." Gurman previously reported that the first version of the smart home display could be revealed as soon as March.
