Apple Wants to Put Cameras in Your AirPods

Your next pair of AirPods might actually be watching you. Apple is secretly developing two brand-new models, codenamed B798 and B790, that feature built-in infrared cameras. Why put cameras in your ears? Apple wants to power its next-gen Visual Intelligence AI. Imagine controlling your devices with subtle gestures or analyzing the world around you without ever touching your phone. References to model B790 are already hiding inside iOS code, meaning a launch could happen way sooner than you think. Meanwhile, the fully-loaded camera model is set for late 2027 to celebrate the iPhone’s twentieth anniversary. Forget basic noise cancellation. Apple is officially turning your favorite earbuds into wearable AI cameras.
