Apple has hired dozens of former Texas Instruments engineers in Israel after the company cut around 250 employees, reports TNW.

Many of the engineers working at the development center were focused on the development of TI’s OMAP and radio (including WiFi and Bluetooth) chips, which are used a number of new smartphone and tablet devices.
