Apple's Camera-Equipped AirPods Coming in Late 2027 Alongside...
Apple’s late-2027 lineup includes camera-equipped AirPods after a delay tied to artificial intelligence and Siri development, Bloomberg reports.
Apple plans to release three major products in late 2027: the 20th anniversary iPhone, a second-generation foldable model, and AirPods with built-in cameras, representing a significant expansion of the company's hardware lineup.
Although originally slated for 2026, the camera-equipped AirPods faced delays due to Apple's prolonged struggles with artificial intelligence software, though all three products reached advanced stages of development in recent months.
The new AirPods feature embedded cameras designed to feed visual context into Siri, enabling users to query their surrounding environment; both anniversary and foldable models will run on a 2-nanometer A21 chip internally dubbed Naxos.
These devices should provide a tailwind during the first full year under Chief Executive Officer John Ternus, as the hardware supports Apple's broader push into Visual Intelligence technology.
Looking toward 2028, Apple plans to equip high-end iPhones with the A22 Pro processor, which will utilize 1.4-nanometer production technology, continuing the company's reliance on advanced silicon manufacturing.
