<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\nApple is ramping up development of three AI-powered wearables\u2014 smart glasses, a wearable pendant, and camera-equipped AirPods\u2014 all designed to connect to the iPhone and give Siri a pair of eyes. Bloomberg reported, citing people familiar with the plans.<\/p>\n The glasses, codenamed N50, are the most advanced of the three. They pack two cameras \u2014 one high-resolution sensor for photos and video, and a second dedicated to computer vision, similar to LiDAR on iPhones. There’s no display in the lens, so everything runs through voice: phone calls, music, navigation, and Siri queries. Apple is aiming for a late 2026 production start and a 2027 launch. <\/p>\n Apple’s Foldable iPhone is Coming, Here\u2019s Why it Matters<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Instead of partnering with an eyewear brand the way Meta has with Ray-Ban, Apple is building its own frames using high-end materials, including acrylic elements. Multiple sizes and colors are planned.<\/p>\n The pendant is perhaps the most unusual of the three. It’s AirTag-sized, clips to clothing or hangs on a necklace, and functions essentially as an always-on camera feeding visual context to Siri. Unlike the ill-fated Humane AI Pin, it has no projector and leans heavily on the iPhone for processing. Whether it’ll include a speaker for two-way Siri conversations is still undecided, Bloomberg says.The pendant is the earliest-stage product and could still be canceled. If it moves forward, a 2027 launch is possible.<\/p>\n Camera-equipped AirPods are the furthest along in development and could arrive as soon as this year. The cameras are low-resolution and built for AI awareness, not photography \u2014 meant to help Siri understand surroundings rather than capture memories.The push comes as Apple plays catch-up with Meta, whose Ray-Ban glasses have become a genuine consumer hit, and OpenAI, which is developing wearables in collaboration with ex-Apple design chief Jony Ive.<\/div>\n\nApple to build its own glasses unlike Meta<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n
