A new report from a reliable leaker suggests that the AirPods line will see IR cameras added next year, with an update to the AirPods Max waiting until 2027.
Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has reiterated a June prediction that Apple’s AirPods line would gain cameras, potentially as an alternative to the development of smart glasses. In his latest report, the frequently-reliable Kuo says the cameras in AirPods would be infrared (IR) cameras.
These would enter production sometime in 2026 and could be used to help direct users to a destination. The computer vision information gathered from the IR-equipped AirPods could also be passed on to other devices.
