Apple is developing AirPods with integrated cameras, nearing a potential launch. Evidence of these camera-equipped AirPods was discovered within the macOS Tahoe 26.7 release candidate. A demo video shows a user holding a book to the AirPods' camera. The voiceover explains that Visual Intelligence allows the world to be saved, enabling users to ask Siri to save items they see. The AirPods' camera will send data to Visual Intelligence, empowering Siri to describe surroundings and log information. Setup instructions for Visual Intelligence on the AirPods are also present. Users will be alerted if hair obstructs the AirPods' cameras, ensuring accurate environmental data. These new AirPods, codenamed B790, were previously rumored by Mark Gurman. Gurman speculated a September release, possibly coinciding with the iPhone 18 Pro unveiling. The macOS Tahoe 26.7 update contains multiple references to the B790 product, alongside other unreleased Apple devices.
