According to reports, Apple is expected to unveil two new devices in 2027, led by Apple Intelligence, smart glasses and AirPods with built-in cameras.
Sources noted that the looming devices plan to include advanced visual intelligence technology, like Meta’s Ray-Ban smart glasses. Nevertheless, their debut is still years away, and it is still unsure whether they may reach the market.
Apple is making strides in expanding its footprint in augmented reality (AR) and wearable tech, planning to enhance user experiences via advanced visual intelligence.
Following the latest disclosure of the iPhone 16’s camera control tools, the tech giant allegedly focuses on smart glasses with cameras, speakers, and microphones.
On the other hand, although these smart eye wearables will not feature full AR displays, they will use visual intelligence to provide advanced functionality. This also makes them an appealing addition to Apple’s product lineup.
Besides smart glasses, the tech giant is also exploring the concept of AirPods with cameras. However, this has sparked speculations over privacy worries related to outward-facing cameras on earbuds.
Even with uncertainties, Apple committed to innovating and adding visual intelligence tools across multiple products, bolstering its determination to research and development.
