Apple tests AI-enabled AirPods with cameras for Siri assistance

Apple is in late testing of AirPods equipped with cameras to enable AI tasks for Siri. Prototypes are in the Design Validation Testing stage before production, with cameras in each earbud that feed low-resolution visuals to Siri rather than recording video. The goal is for Siri to offer context‑aware help based on what the cameras see, while privacy considerations include a potential LED indicator; a release is expected later this year as part of Apple’s broader AI hardware push.

Bloomberg Reimagines the Terminal as a Chatbot-Driven AI Assistant

Bloomberg is testing ASKB, a chatbot-style AI interface atop multiple language models to help traders quickly surface insights from the Terminal’s massive data trove. Users can ask high-level questions (like how geopolitical events affect a portfolio), build workflow templates, and receive synthesized, sourced summaries with validation checks to curb hallucinations. Currently in beta with about one-third of users, Bloomberg envisions ASKB becoming the main way to interact with the Terminal, while keeping GUI options; the goal is to accelerate analysis and surface alpha, not replace human expertise.

Touchscreen MacBook Pro and Mac Studio Delayed into 2027 Amid Chip Shortage

Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman says a touchscreen MacBook Pro is still in the works but due to a global memory chip shortage it’s now expected to ship in early 2027 (late 2026 was the previous window), while a Mac Studio refresh is anticipated around October 2026 with M5-series chips. The high-end laptops would feature touch support, OLED, Dynamic Island, and a thinner design (potentially under a MacBook Ultra branding) with macOS 27 offering a touch-friendly interface; no major redesign is planned for Mac Studio. Overall, launches are pushed back to 2027 for the MacBook Pro and to October 2026 for the Mac Studio.
