Layoffs were planned, but are on hold pending NXP deal (approval of which is now extended to end of October). Also there was some expectation of MAV going more with Intel, but for now we are keeping the same numbers as on the iPhone 7, which helped delay the layoff.
If the NPX deal was done by now, there would have been layoffs, layoff lists were all done.
The Q plan is still the same, to reduce headcount in San Diego to a bare minimum, in favor of India. Approval is waiting on the Q to make a deal guaranteeing they will remain for a certain number of years in the EU.
The writing is on the wall.
