Recent rumors suggest Apple has been working on AirPods models equipped with AI-powered cameras since at least last year. Earlier reports indicated these devices were nearly ready for production, but new speculation now contradicts this, with some claims suggesting the project has been suspended. These conflicting reports come from a leaker named Kosutami Ito, who cited previous posts, and from hints found in the code of iOS 27. The proposed feature would integrate the camera with Apple’s Visual Intelligence function, allowing users to get explanations of objects in their field of view, similar to features in smart glasses like those made by Meta. However, photo or video capabilities are reportedly not planned, and Apple initially considered only infrared cameras. Another potential use for the integrated cameras could be gesture control of the AirPods, which currently rely on voice commands or touch-sensitive areas. Meanwhile, developer Sam Gold discovered a reference to a product codenamed B790 in the second beta version of iOS 27, which might indicate a new AirPods model capable of transmitting images captured by cameras located on either side of the device.
