Apple has been rumored to be working on a special AirPods model that packs built in cameras. Now, a fresh report has revealed more details regarding this unique AirPods, with the hearables apparently being in active development. So let’s check it out.
Apple AirPods with Cameras in the works
The news arrives from Mark Gurman’s latest PowerOn newsletter. In this report, Gurman states that the Cupertino based giant’s AirPods with integrated cameras are currently in active development. For those unaware, the next gen Apple AirPods with cameras were previously rumored in the January newsletter as well. But the active development part hints that its release might not be too far away.
Based on what we know so far, these cameras won’t be used as typical image sensors for capturing pictures. Rather, the cameras would serve the purpose of gathering data regarding the users’ environment. This would likely work in tandem with Apple Intelligence to integrate visual data. The system may be a new part of Apple’s Visual Intelligence that analyzes the environment and provides the user with information about the surroundings. Apple offers this tech on its iPhone cameras as well.
Furthermore, the earlier report revealed that the cameras aren’t color sensors, but instead employ infrared cameras. The entire system could also work with the Apple Vision Pro to get a spatial audio experience. These could also work with future Apple mixed reality headsets. It is unclear when exactly these AirPods with cameras drop, but these may debut after the AirPods Pro 3 which could launch sometime later this year.
