Apple plans camera AirPods launch for late 2027 - Bloomberg

Apple plans to launch camera-equipped AirPods in late 2027, coinciding with the 20th anniversary iPhone and a second-generation foldable iPhone. As Apple's first wearable AI product, these AirPods will not capture photos but will send environmental data to Siri. This allows Siri to answer questions about viewed objects, provide contextual reminders, and offer improved turn-by-turn walking directions, building upon the current Visual Intelligence features to assist users based on their immediate surroundings.
