It will also be about the approved rewards for Tim Cook and the fourth developer beta versions of Apple operating systems.

Apple is cutting costs, especially employees will feel it

The current situation is not easy for anyone, including large technology companies including Apple. Although the Cupertino giant is certainly not one of the companies teetering on the edge of bankruptcy, its management is still cautious and tries to save where possible. In this context, the Bloomberg agency reported this week that Apple is suspending the recruitment of new employees, except in the area of ​​research and development. However, existing Apple employees, for whom the company plans to reduce the frequency of bonuses, are also starting to feel the investigation.

Beta versions of operating systems

In the course of the past week, Apple released the fourth developer beta versions of its operating systems iOS 16.4, iPadOS 16.4, watchOS 9.4 and macOS 13.3. As is often the case with developer beta versions, specific information about what news the mentioned updates have brought is not yet available at the moment.

Rewards for Tim Cook

In the course of the past week, the Bloomberg agency reported on the annual meeting of shareholders of Apple. One of the things that was discussed at the meeting was also the remuneration for director Tim Cook. This year, under certain conditions, they should reach almost 50 million dollars. The aforementioned rewards will be paid to Tim Cook if the company manages to meet all financial targets. The base salary is to be $3 million. Although the mentioned sums sound really respectable, in fact Tim Cook "did worse" financially - according to available data, his income was reduced by about 40%.
