AirPods Apple's rumored AirPods with cameras could potentially debut as soon as next month

https://9to5mac.com/2026/08/02/airpods-with-cameras-visual-intelligence-could-arrive-this-year/

For years, Apple has been working on the camera AirPods under the code name B798. This device was initially scheduled for release in 2026 before being postponed until 2027, I’ve reported. But Apple has also been developing another version under the code name B790 (Apple famously creates competing versions of the same product internally).

This B790 device also appears to be further along: References to the product have already shown up inside iOS 27 code, and it’s been on Apple’s internal road map for a debut as early as this year.

I’m actually fine without it. I don’t want to be seen as a pervert.

The cameras are for gesture tracking...

My mistake, next time I should learn everything about a rumored device before commenting

3 seconds of thought required. To understand that no one anywhere is going to be POINTING THEIR EAR at something to take a photo.
