The specter of a looming global recession is taking its toll on the mood of the boards of major companies, which are increasingly signaling internal changes to prepare their businesses for tougher times. It's no different with Apple (AAPL.US), which plans to slow hiring dynamics and cut spending in some of its divisions in the coming year. The changes won't affect all teams, and Apple is still planning an aggressive 2023 product launch schedule that includes, among other things, a mixed reality (VR/AR) suite, the first such major new category project since 2015.

Yesterday, the company's shares lost nearly 2.1% following the news.
