Hiring, reviews & process changes
- A large share of Siri engineers were sent to a multi-week AI coding bootcamp, and some teams put large parts of their budgets toward Claude Code, MacRumors reported, relaying The Information.[2]
Reported results
- Apple's Support app version 5.13 shipped with internal CLAUDE.md files (Claude Code project instructions), which were removed in the next update.[3]
Metric tags: Adoption rate
Editor's note: Apple has published no internal adoption or productivity figures. The bootcamp report relays The Information, which relies on unnamed sources. Xcode features are products for outside developers, not evidence of internal use on their own.
