Promotional material found within the macOS Tahoe 26.7 release candidate suggests Apple is developing camera-equipped AirPods, internally codenamed B790, designed for Visual Intelligence tasks.
The earbuds feature longer stems to house camera components and are intended to help Siri identify surroundings, such as reading book titles or providing turn-by-turn directions.
While originally slated for early 2026, the hardware is currently in the design validation test stage and could potentially debut alongside the iPhone 18 Pro series next month.
