Apple's Camera-Equipped AirPods Confirmed: See Them in Action

The useful part

Apple is working on camera-equipped AirPods that appear to be nearly ready to launch, based on a video MacRumors found in the macOS Tahoe 26.7 release candidate. In a short demo, a man holds a book up so the camera in the AirPods can see the title. Here is your first look at AirPods with Cameras in action using Visual Intelligence.

How it works

• There is a direct reference to setting up ‌Visual Intelligence‌ on the AirPods.
• "To get the most accurate information about things in your environment, make sure AirPods are not covered," it says.
• The camera-equipped AirPods have the codename B790, which was also previously mentioned by Bloomberg 's Mark Gurman.

Details worth keeping

"With Visual Intelligence, your world becomes savable. Just ask me to save it for later," says the voiceover text. If hair is covering the AirPods up, you'll receive an alert.
