Apple Decentralizes From Silicon Valley, but Workers Just Want to Be Remote
This week: Apple ramps up its decentralization from Silicon Valley, Safari’s upcoming redesign on the iPhone is a giant step back, and accessory makers are struggling to get their hands on Apple Watch charger supplies.

“But Apple realizes that many valuable employees don’t want to be in Silicon Valley, period.

A sizable portion of workers simply don’t want to be in an office at all.”
