Thread regarding Apple Inc. layoffs

What does the modem team do?

Apart from drinking coffee , taking long sh-t breaks and failing to meet targets.

Really, how can one fail form years on the trot?

The modem team is a case of corporate welfare.

Apple employees must have at least one PC or android phone. They can post freely without overwatching eyes.

The parasites draining my team and many others are the ones responsible for this clusterfu-k.

If you believed them, the modem was ready six years ago. With each passing year, they keep creating more hurdles for every one else.

This article only tells you that network operators are not expanding their 5G access networks. It does not impact the mobile phone side.

Don't spend too much time under the desk, you didn't have all your cups in order to begin with. People do strange things for their jobs.

Reading and comprehension were never really a required skill for apple employees. You just need to believe in the fruity tutty cult.

Once we are hired, we don't get fired by our kind. No matter what we deliver, you need to take it. It isn't about delivery, it is about our level which will always be above you.
You can't fire us all without shutting down the whole business unit. Our unions and government will protect us.
Keep toiling away busy gnomes!

I just do my job while a few specific groups of employees think their job is protected no matter what they do. Make a barely working chip 3 times larger than the competition with worse performance and higher energy consumption and then these people think no heads should roll. Tired of carrying this inherited dead weight around.

Things will change when the management stops playing favorites with low performers and starts punishing these underperforming complainers.

@jkpz Obviously to you , anyone not belonging to the Aryan race is pretty useless.
Just look at how successful the designs from the German teams are. It took them 6 years to perfect the art of failure and they are still at it.

Apple low level code is a sheet show of cluster fock proportions.
Even the bug fixes create more bugs.
It is an endless bu----y, what it is.

The issue is that Apple is not good at making low-level software. OSX/macOS are BSD. Pre-OSX, their kernel was a mess: it was non-preemptive and without memory protection--basically Windows 95. On the other hand, the entire modem stack is code running on a DSP. The hardware does very little. You need to develop your own RTOS. Qualcomm has their own ISA for the processor.

Although Apples makes their own GPU, they used to license the design from Imagination, and the GPU was in the SOC. However, the Qualcomm modem is not. Perhaps that's why haven't been able to make their own modem.

No one in apple blames the modem team. Modems are just too difficult for them.
It is not their fault if they are complete failures. They were born that way.
It is not politically correct to call them re--rds. It is mean spirited and hurts their feelings.

maybe it's like controlled fusion or quantum computing
they just need a few more years of additional research funding

I remember first hearing about Apple is developing a modem in 2017. During this time, Samsung, Mediatek, and the Chinese have developed their own 5G modems.

Once Tim Cook leaves as CEO, the modem team will be first on the chopping block.

Apple committed a huge blunder by jumping into modems.

Instead of wasting money on building modems, focus should have been on deeper integration of the modem with the OS.
