Apple's Camera-Equipped AirPods: All the New Rumors
The earbuds would use still images from each camera to power Apple’s Visual Intelligence and upgraded Siri, while adding a capture light for privacy.
- Apple accidentally leaked a demo video of its forthcoming camera-equipped AirPods earlier this week within macOS Tahoe 26.7, showing the earbuds using Visual Intelligence to identify and log a book's title.

- Apple is developing competing versions, codenamed B790 and B798, but Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reports no release until 2027, noting the company "famously creates competing versions of the same product internally.
