Apple is reportedly working on smart glasses and AirPods with cameras, set for possible release in 2027, according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman. The smart glasses are expected to be similar to Meta’s Ray-Ban collaboration, featuring built-in cameras, speakers, and microphones but without full augmented reality (AR) displays. This move appears to be part of Apple’s effort to extend its visual intelligence technology, first seen in the Apple Vision Pro, to other products.
The report also mentions Apple’s plans for AirPods with cameras, though the utility of such a product remains unclear. While the exact appeal of camera-equipped AirPods is still uncertain, Apple continues to explore integrating visual intelligence into various form factors as it looks to capitalize on its significant R&D investment.
