Apple continues to work on offering new products for users to enjoy. Recent developments suggest that the company is working on a new AirPods model that will provide a different user experience compared to previous ones. Here are the details!

Apple is working on camera-equipped AirPods Pro

Reliable sources, including Mark Gurman, have revealed that Apple is actively working on a camera-equipped AirPods model. This claim was first made earlier in January, but there were no concrete developments at the time, just like now.

The source mentions that the integrated cameras in the AirPods model will not be used for taking photos like typical sensors. Instead, the sensors will be used to collect data about the user’s surroundings. It is suggested that the new feature will work in collaboration with Apple Intelligence to process visual data.

Apple has also started working on a large-screen foldable model, though it remains unclear whether the device will be an iPad or a MacBook.

In summary, you will be able to ask Siri questions about your surroundings without even taking your iPhone out of your pocket. The integrated cameras in the AirPods will process surrounding visual data in response to your queries, delivering the necessary answers through Siri.

Gurman’s statement on the matter is as follows:

“Apple is working on a new version of AirPods Pro that uses external cameras and artificial intelligence to understand the outside world and provide information to the user.”

Currently, there is no official information regarding when the camera-equipped AirPods Pro will be released. However, according to the source, such technology is not expected to appear in the upcoming AirPods Pro 3, which will likely be introduced this year. It will probably be released in 2026 or later.
