This is the best summary I could come up with:
Apple is to chop more than 600 workers in a move likely related to the cancellation of several projects at the firm, including the company's self-driving car.
As Reg readers might expect, the world's most valuable company isn't saying much about the reasons behind the layoffs.
The company confirmed the job losses in Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) filing with the California Employment Development Department (EDD.)
Other layoffs in the round are likely related to a decision by Apple to ditch its in-house effort to make its own smartwatch displays after cost and complexity proved fatal to the initiative.
The Register contacted Apple to confirm the cancellations and subsequent layoffs and will update should the company respond.
However, it is worth remembering that the notices only apply to California and Apple's Santa Clara operations.
