Tim Cook said Apple will reduce hiring in certain divisions because of the iPhone sales slowdown

Apple will cut back on hiring for certain divisions as the company re-adjusts its plans in the face of slowing iPhone sales, according to a Bloomberg report on Wednesday.

CEO Tim Cook told employees during a meeting earlier this month that Apple would reduce hiring for certain unspecified groups, but said the company would not impose a hiring freeze, Bloomberg reported citing anonymous sources.

Cook said he still had not decided which groups within Apple would be affected.
