Apple May Launch Camera-Equipped AirPods as Early as September
Apple is reportedly preparing to launch AirPods with built-in cameras as early as September, potentially alongside the iPhone 18 Pro. These cameras are not intended for photography or video but to enhance Siri's ability to understand and interact with the environment using visual information. Two versions are in development: B798, expected in 2027, and B790, which appears closer to release with references found in iOS 27. The new AirPods could improve AI features like object recognition and accessibility.
