Apple seeks more software engineers than hardware engineers

Apple increases the diversity of its workers

One way to see where Apple's future holds is identify job offers that you intend to create. In the new batch of job offers, software-related offerings have overtaken offers to build hardware. The last time this happened was in the first quarter of 2016, according to the data provided by the web Thinknum.

The article states that software and services jobs exceed hardware jobs, if we stick to data from the third quarter of 2018. In other words, Apple is committed to improving software compared to new products. 

Although it is true that these are relative data, it is possible that count on the template closed in hardwareIn the face of shortages in software positions, it is possible that Apple's bet goes through substantial improvements in software. On the other hand, the information is extracted from the Apple portal, and does not take into account offers made in other job portals. That is why this statement may not be entirely accurate, as Joshua Fruhlinger from Thinknum himself tells us.

On the other hand, this approach is certainly foreseeable, since Apple is increasingly focusing on its service area, like Apple Music or the iCloud ecosystem. In addition, these services may be in full expansion, with the introduction of a news service based on subscriptions or Apple's streaming television, which we will see in 2019.

What's more, services like Crab and everything related to artificial intelligence is a line of work that Apple should not or want to abandon, especially when it is constantly offering news in each keynote. This change in trend from hardware to software may also be due to market needs. At this time Apple has more than 1.400 billion devices all types. The client therefore no longer demands more product, but tools or functions to perform with these equipment.
