AirPods Pro with AI cameras enter advanced testing, signaling a possible 2026 launch
TL;DR Summary
AirPods Pro with built-in AI cameras have moved into an advanced testing stage and could enter mass production soon. The cameras will feed visual information to Siri to answer questions about objects in view, without taking photos or videos, with a small LED indicator when data is being sent. The feature ties to Visual Intelligence in iOS 27, and Apple is aiming for a first-half-2026 launch, potentially under the AirPods Ultra or AirPods Pro with Cameras branding, depending on Siri readiness and quality.
