Apple has confirmed reports of job losses at Beats as a part of its $3 billion acquisition. “We’re excited to have the Beats team join Apple, and we have extended job offers to every Beats employee,” says Apple spokesman Tom Neumayr. “Because of some overlap in our operations, some offers are for a limited period and we’ll work hard during this time to find as many of these Beats employees as we can another permanent job within Apple.” Sources say that last week, about 200 out of Beats’ 700 employees were told that their positions are now temporary, and will be cut within the next few months.
