Apple will cut more than 600 jobs in a move likely related to the cancellation of several projects at the company, including the company's self-driving car.
Apple cut at least 600 jobs as projects were halted
As Reg readers might expect, the world's most valuable company isn't saying much about the reasons behind the layoffs. After all, Project Titan – presumably the name of the self-driving car project – was supposed to be kept secret. In February, however, it appeared that Apple had released the development.
The company confirmed the job losses in a WARN filing with the California Employment Development Department (EDD.)
Most of the layoffs [listed in this .xlsx document] have come from the Kifer 4 facility at 3689 Kifer Road in Santa Clara. According to a report in Bloomberg, this location was the company's main automotive-related facility. Other satellite offices were also affected.
