Yes, you have not read it badly, and apparently, Apple would be working on a version of Airpods with integrated cameraswhich could suppose a great advance in some fields, such as the future version of Siri, although we have serious doubts about its possibility of implementation.
It is true that these cameras would not be the same as those we have on an iPhone, since they would not be designed to record videos or take pictures, but to collect movement data and use as “sensors” to understand the user's environment and provide relevant information without the need to take out the iPhone out of the pocket.
Airpods integrated cameras
For now it is a project that will not see the light in the short term, and it is possible that late many years and evidence to be implemented, something that, it is not even certain that we will see, although Mark Gurman says that Apple is actively working on it.
With these Airpods with cameraSiri could tell you exactly where you are alone with asking him, using what the cameras detect. They could also tell you if a car approaches while walking, making them more useful for security. In general, this combination of technology would make the experience with the Airpods and Apple's ecosystem feel much more fluid and personalized.
It is clear that, if joining, it would be in a Pro version, that is, not all models would take it, since this could increase, and quite the cost of them, and many people only want some headphones to listen to music, and not to use with Siri or other functions.
These cameras could improve the space audio experience by better detecting the user's environment and allowing control through air gestures, which would be especially useful in Combination with devices such as Pro Visionalthough it is still early to talk about it.
The rumors place them, if everything goes well, as we said, in 2026so it seems to us a very optimistic date, although it could be that everything is more advanced than we believe, and a first model is released at the end of next year.
For now it is time to wait, since there are many things that we can raise, and not only from the price, but also the theme of the battery, since a continuous use of this tool could reduce, and much, the autonomy of some AirPods that do not have a great capacity.
And you, do you consider that some AirPods should wear cameras to improve Siri's assistant, or is it a money expense for not so relevant functions? The truth is that I believe that it is not necessary, although we still do not know its real utility, and it may be as Apple's present, we create a need for everyone to have some, we already know how this company usually surprises us, so we will be pending to everything and we will bring you the next rumors about this new characteristic and if it will finally be incorporated or delayed.
