Apple is reportedly developing AirPods with built-in cameras, aiming to enhance AI-driven spatial awareness and real-world interaction, according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman. While these won’t arrive in AirPods Pro 3 (2024), Apple may introduce them by 2027, possibly alongside smart glasses.

 

The camera-equipped AirPods could:

Enable Visual Intelligence, letting Siri analyze surroundings without an iPhone.

Improve spatial audio, adjusting sound based on head movement in sync with Apple Vision Pro.

Support in-air gesture control, offering new ways to interact with devices.

With Apple investing heavily in AI and spatial computing, this move could redefine wearable tech.
