Apple Developing AI Smart Glasses, AI Pin & Camera AirPods – Device Decode
According to a report by Bloomberg, Apple is moving faster on three new AI-powered wearable devices. These include smart glasses, an AI pin, and AirPods with cameras. All three devices will connect to the iPhone and work with a smarter version of Siri.
The main idea behind these products is simple: they will use cameras to “see” the world around you and help Siri answer questions based on what you are looking at.
Apple Smart Glasses
Apple’s smart glasses are expected to compete directly with the Meta Ray-Bans. Apple has already shared early prototypes with its hardware team and is aiming for a launch in 2027, with production possibly starting in late 2026.
Key Features of Apple Smart Glasses
Cameras
The glasses will have two cameras. One high-quality camera will take photos and videos. The second camera will help Siri understand your surroundings, measure distance, and recognize objects, similar to LiDAR on the iPhone.
No display in lenses
These glasses will not have screens inside the lenses. Everything will work through voice commands.
Voice-based control
Users will talk to Siri to make calls, play music, get directions, and ask questions.
Smart abilities
You can look at an object and ask Siri about it. The glasses may read real-world text like dates on posters and add them to your calendar. Live translation and smart reminders are also expected.
Premium build quality
Apple is designing its own frames instead of using third-party brands. The company is using high-end materials to give the glasses a premium feel.
Design choices
The glasses will come in different sizes and colors, with more styles added later.
All-day battery
The battery and all parts are built into the frame, and Apple wants the glasses to last all day.
Apple AI Pin
The AI pin is still in early development, and Apple may cancel it. If it continues, it could launch in 2027.
AI Pin Highlights
Always-on camera
The pin will have a low-quality camera only for understanding surroundings. It will not take photos or videos.
Microphone for Siri
Users will talk to Siri through the pin. Some Apple employees describe it as the “eyes and ears” of the iPhone.
Works with iPhone
The AI pin will be an iPhone accessory, not a standalone device.
Basic chip
The pin will have a simple chip like AirPods. Most processing will happen on the iPhone.
Speaker (not confirmed)
Apple is still deciding whether to add a speaker for voice replies.
Clip or necklace design
The pin can clip onto clothes or bags, or be worn as a pendant.
AirPods With Cameras
Apple is further along with AirPods that include cameras, and they could launch as early as this year.
Like the AI pin, these cameras will be low-resolution and used only to give Siri visual information—not for taking photos or videos.
Smarter Siri Is Coming
Apple is still working on a chatbot-style Siri for iOS 27, even though some AI features were delayed in iOS 26.4.
This new version of Siri will use AI models developed by Google.
Future Apple Devices
Looking ahead, Apple is also planning:
- Smart glasses with augmented reality displays (still years away)
- A home hub smart display, possibly launching later this year
- A larger smart display with a robotic arm in 2027
- A new HomePod
- A compact indoor sensor for home security and automation
