How Apple Is Working From Home

1. Apple HQ is in Cupertino. But there is development being done all over the world e.g. France, Israel, UK as well as all over the US e.g. Arizona, Texas and the dozens of offices around California. None of this will change.

2. Apple has always had some people working remotely but really just depended on what you were doing. You can't design an iPod remotely. But you can build software.

3. Situation is definitely different now as the quality of internet and tooling is such that remote work can be high quality and the feeling of detachment can be managed. So definitely agree that at Apple and elsewhere you will see more remote work.

On 2. I have never worked at apple but many job postings I have seen for software engineering positions explicitly called for onsite.

From what I understand, any Apple remote positions are employees that previously worked onsite and negotiated remote after a few years.

re point 1: I've never worked at Apple and have no idea where the 'fun' projects live, but at Google it's often said that you need to be willing to move to Mountain View for the good stuff / for career progression.

I think this is a lot less true now than it used to be, at least for L<8

Many people who could probably do their job remotely do not do their job remotely.
