Apple already prioritizes jobs related to software and services over hardware

According to information released by Thinknum, software engineering vacancies have outnumbered hardware engineering vacancies on Apple's job listing for the first time since the first quarter of 2016.
Services gain importance at Apple
The Thinknum website claims that job openings for Apple's "software and services" engineers have outnumbered job openings for hardware engineers, a fact that has been occurring since the third quarter of last year 2018.
Thinknum's Joshua Fruhlinger has told MacRumors that the data comes exclusively from Apple's job portal, and does not include job vacancies that Apple may be posting on third-party websites, so these findings are not yet entirely conclusive.. On the other hand, its website began to track the listings in the first quarter of 2016, another nuance that does not confirm whether the listings of software jobs have really surpassed those of hardware.
In any case, beyond the greater or lesser precision of the data provided, the conclusion is quite significant since in fact Apple has focused on the growth and expansion of its portfolio of services such as the App Store or Apple Music in recent years. In addition, the Cupertino company is expected to introduce new services related to news and streaming video at a special event that would take place on March 25 at the Steve Jobs Theater in San José, California, located in the Apple Park where the company's "headquarters" is located.
With more than 1.4 billion active Apple devices worldwide, and a constant price rise year after year, the demand for some products has been slowed. In fact, for the first fiscal quarter of 2019 (last calendar quarter of 2018 in the United States), Apple reported for the first time in 16 years a downward correction to its revenue forecast based on "fewer iPhone updates" than than expected. Thus, the greater focus on services is more than logical.
