On February 18, according to BloombergappleWE'RE ACCELERATING THE DEVELOPMENT OF THREE SECTIONSWearable devicesINCLUDING AI Smart glasses, AI wears a brooch/ locket, and AI version AirPods. These devices will be connected to iPhone and interact with the upgraded Siri under development。
ALL THREE PRODUCTS WILL HAVE BUILT-IN CAMERAS TO ENABLE AI TO "SEE" THE SURROUNDINGS OF THE WEARERS AND ANSWER QUESTIONS ABOUT THE SCENE。
Smart glasses
Apple smart glasses are going to compete with Meta Ray Ray's glasses, as was said earlier. Apple has recently provided the hardware engineering team with prototypes, with a target to be listed in 2027, with the earliest possible start of production in December 2026。
Cameras: A high-end camera, one high-resolution camera is used to photograph the video and the other provides Siri with visual and environmental information, decoding scenes, ranging and laser radars similar to the iPhone. Apple wants to open the gap with Meta products with a better camera。
No screen: The screen is not mounted in the lens。
Voice interaction: Users ask Siri through voice commands and perform operations。
Functions: Support for Siri interactive, telephone, music, photo and video; eyes and questions on objects, and walking navigation; visual intelligence to recognize words such as the date of the event and to add to the calendar; and may also support scene alarms, real-time translation。
Work: Apples will be sold as a difference in quality. Consideration was given to working with existing eyeglass brands, embedding hardware in off-the-shelf mirror frames, and eventually deciding to develop the frame on its own, using high-end materials such as Acre and pursuing high-quality senses。
Design: Provides multiple sizes and colours, or more models in the future。
INTERNAL BATTERIES: THE LATEST PROTOTYPE INTEGRATES THE BATTERY WITH ALL COMPONENTS IN THE FRAME, WITH THE AIM OF BECOMING AN ALL-WEATHER AI PARTNER。
AI BROOCH
APPLE'S AI BROOCH PROJECT IS STILL IN ITS EARLY STAGES AND THERE IS EVEN A POSSIBILITY OF BEING CANCELLED. IF WE KEEP MOVING FORWARD, IT'S EXPECTED TO BE RELEASED BY 2027。
CAMERA: A LOW-RESOLUTION CAMERA TO PROVIDE VISUAL INFORMATION FOR AI, BUT UNABLE TO TAKE PHOTOGRAPHS OR VIDEO, THE CAMERA IS CONTINUOUSLY OPEN AND RECORDS THE SURROUNDING ENVIRONMENT OF THE PERSON WEARING IT。
Microphones: In-house microphones for dialogue with Siri. According to Bloomberg, some of the Apple employees see this AI pin as an iPhone 'eye and ears'。
iPhone accessories: located as iPhone accessories, not stand-alone products。
Specialized chip: The built-in dedicated chip with performance similar to the AirPods chip has limited ability to calculate, and most processing tasks are performed by iPhone。
Speaker: Could be mounted for two-way dialogue with Siri, function not yet finalized。
How to wear it: It can be fixed to a dress or a bag by a clamp or a locket on a necklace。
AI version AirPods
1AI notes that there are numerous reports that Apple is developing AirPods with a camera and that the development is ahead of the AI pin, which could be launched this year at the earliest。
Similar to the AI brooch, the camera on AirPods is of a low-resolution information collection type and is not used for photographs。
Siri
Despite the extension of Siri ' s associated functionality, and the new features of Apple Inteligence did not appear in the first test version of iOS 26.4, Apple is still developing a chat robotic version of Siri for iOS 27。
This version of Siri will run on the AI model developed by Google。
Future equipment
Apple's future plan is to introduce smart glasses with an AR screen, but the product will take years. A family hub smart screen is being developed and is expected to be released later this year; a big screen + mechanical arm upgrade may be launched in 2027. A new generation of HomePod is also being developed, along with a compact indoor sensor for household security and automation。
