Why Apple is dodging Big Tech’s layoff storm

Apple has largely avoided the mass layoffs affecting other major technology companies, according to a report by ynetnews. The report states that global tech layoffs have surpassed 92,000 in 2026, while Apple has maintained relative stability. Analysts cited by the report attribute Apple's position to disciplined hiring practices and a culture focused on retraining employees.

The report contrasts Apple's approach with that of other Big Tech firms, including Meta, Amazon, and Microsoft, which have conducted significant workforce reductions. Apple's relative stability comes amid broader industry turmoil, with multiple companies restructuring their workforces, partly in response to developments in artificial intelligence and automation.

The analysts noted that Apple's strategy has allowed it to avoid large-scale job cuts while maintaining operational flexibility. The report did not provide specific numbers for Apple's workforce changes, instead emphasizing the company's avoidance of the broader layoff trend. The 92,000 global layoff figure was given as context for the scale of reductions across the tech sector.
