Apple Inc said in a filing with California regulators on Wednesday it plans to lay off people from facilities near its California headquarters. The reductions, first reported by CNBC, take effect on April 16.

More than 150 engineers and related fields were among those laid off, according to a letter sent by Apple to California employment regulators.

Among those employees, at least two dozen were software engineers and 40 were hardware engineers.

The lay-offs appear to be the first major shake-up of Project Titan under Doug Field, who returned to Apple last year after a stint at electric car maker Tesla.
