New Apple CEO John Ternus Fires Managers Who Kept Hardware on Schedule

A month into the job, Apple CEO John Ternus has dismissed a wave of engineering program managers (EPMs) from the hardware division, including roughly half a dozen directors. Affected staff have weeks to find new roles or face layoffs later this year.

• EPMs and about six directors cut from Apple's hardware engineering division
• Those who can't find new internal roles face layoffs later this year
• Ternus wants a direct line between engineers and senior leadership
• Apple earlier cut 200+ roles across Vision Pro, Siri and software
