Apple Will Not Produce Electric Cars Lay Off 600 Employees Apple has laid off 600 of its employees. After canceling the decision to make electric cars and in-house smartwatch displays, Apple has cut a large number of employees.
According to the international media Bloomberg, Apple cut the same number of employees last February and March. Out of these 87 people were involved in making smartwatch displays and the rest were involved in the Apple Car project.
Apple started shutting down the car project, which took a decade of research and invested billions of dollars, just two months ago.
Apple’s car project was also known as ‘Project Titan’. For the first time, the news about this came out in 2014. But apart from rumors about it at various times, the actual product could not come. A lot of manpower and budget was spent on this project.
Similarly, Apple has also closed the internal plan to develop an in-house display for the Apple Watch. To make its technologies in-house, Apple started the project of the display of the smartwatch. There were relatively few employees in this project. However, Apple customizes the display of the smartwatch. But they are based on the design of LG and Samsung. With this project, Apple wanted to make a thin, colorful, and bright display.
Both these projects were being done by Apple in secret. The report of the California Department of Employment Development has also confirmed the dismissal of employees related to this.
Similarly, it is also said that Apple has brought other employees related to this project to its generative AI project. Currently, Apple is trying hard to bring AI to its products.
