Apple CEO John Ternus has a new AI rule for his engineers

Apple is putting a tighter limit on how much its employees can spend on AI tools at work. Last month, the iPhone maker quietly cut the daily AI spending cap for some of its engineers from $300 to $200, according to a Bloomberg report. Engineers who need more than that will now have to seek an exemption from senior leadership. The change is part of a wider cost-cutting push at Apple. It comes even as the company is asking employees to bring AI deeper into how they write code and run day-to-day operations.
