Apple may add new options to its wearable products in its current portfolio in the coming period. According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Apple is considering the idea of producing artificial intelligence-supported smart glasses and camera-equipped AirPods. It is stated that both concepts are still in the discovery phase and are a glimpse of the company’s future plans.
Gurman says the smart glasses will be angled to replace AirPods, only designed with more sensors, artificial intelligence features and longer-lasting batteries. Although these glasses are cheaper than the Vision Pro and are a head-mounted device, they will not be Apple’s dream AR face computer with high-quality transparent screens. According to Gurman, Apple’s glasses could be a product comparable to Meta’s smart glasses, which even Ray-Ban has prepared together.
Apple is also said to have started working on the idea of AirPods with cameras under the codename B798. If Apple achieves this, they will be the same size as modern AirPods; However, it is said that low-resolution cameras will help users in their daily routines with the support of artificial intelligence.
Apple is looking to strengthen its wearables division as its existing products mature. Putting a camera on AirPods is certainly a strange idea that vaguely hints at Apple’s plans for generative AI. However, it would not be a surprise if people who are open to face computers adopt ear cameras.
Apart from smart glasses and camera-equipped AirPods, Apple can also develop smart rings
Gurman notes that the long-rumored smart ring idea still has supporters in Cupertino, but Apple is still not actively developing anything in an interesting but unproven wearable category.
It is curious what steps Apple will take regarding smart glasses and AirPods with cameras. However, it is not difficult to predict that the company will not stay away from advances in this field.
