Apple plans to launch smart glasses and camera-equipped AirPods by 2027

Apple is reportedly developing new vision-based products, including smart glasses and AirPods with cameras, set to launch no earlier than 2027. These smart glasses will feature built-in cameras, speakers, and microphones, similar to Meta's Ray-Ban collaboration. The smart glasses will not be full augmented reality devices but will incorporate visual intelligence technology. This follows Apple's recent integration of similar features in the iPhone 16's camera system. The AirPods with cameras are also in the works, although their appeal compared to the smart glasses is unclear. Apple aims to leverage its significant investment in visual technology across these new products.
