Apple is gearing up to launch AirPods with built-in cameras by 2027, as reported by Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman. These cameras, likely small infrared sensors like those in the iPhone’s Face ID, will bring exciting new features.

For instance, they could improve spatial audio, making sounds feel more lifelike when paired with Apple’s Vision Pro headset. By tracking where you look, the AirPods could adjust audio to match your surroundings, creating a more immersive experience.

In addition to the camera-equipped AirPods, Apple is developing smart glasses to rival Meta’s Ray-Ban glasses, also slated for 2027. These glasses would use similar visual tech to scan the environment and offer useful information on the go.

This move comes as Apple shifts focus from its pricey, bulky $3,500 Vision Pro headset to more practical, lightweight devices that appeal to a wider audience. Production for the new AirPods is expected to kick off in 2026, with a release likely the following year.

Apple’s goal is to make augmented reality more accessible, blending innovative tech with the simplicity its products are known for. While details are still unfolding, these AirPods could transform how we listen and engage with the world, offering a fresh take on wearable technology.
