Apple reduced its Fitness+ workforce for the second time in two months, specifically targeting the audio production team. This strategic shift aims to lower content creation costs, resulting in less frequent releases for features like 'Time to Walk.'
The layoffs occur as Apple prepares a major Health app redesign. The update will likely integrate Fitness+ services more closely as the company re-evaluates the platform's financial model and future direction.
Separately, JPMorgan reports robust demand for the iPhone 18 Pro lineup. Delivery wait times have increased and currently match the duration seen for last year's models.
