Apple confirmed to be laying off over 700 employees — Apple Car, Siri, and Micro-LED display development said to be the cause

Apple Walnut Street store.

Just weeks after Apple’s car project was scrapped triggering layoffs at the company, we now know that more than 700 of its employees are confirmed to be laid off, and the Apple Car wasn’t the only reason. 

As originally reported by 9to5Mac, citing a WARN report from the California Employment Development Department, more than 700 employees were removed from a handful of central projects. The above report confirmed that “Apple is laying off 58 employees from one of its offices in Santa Clara”, which is associated with a team working on Micro-LED displays for the Apple Watch. This could suggest Apple is canceling the tech altogether with Bloomberg reporting something similar just last month.
