It's not just apple. Nvidia, AMD, and several other companies haven't announced layoffs.

My opinion is that all the above have strong CEOs who aren't reactive.

All 3 companies produce actual real life things also, so it’s harder to lay off sections which aren’t as profitable as others when share prices fall.
