Apple is reportedly cooking up a trio of AI wearables
Late last month, The Information reported that Apple was developing a wearable AI: an AirTag-sized pendant with cameras that could be attached to a user’s shirt. Now, Bloomberg writes that development of such a device – along with two other AI-powered items – is accelerating as Apple looks to stay competitive with other tech giants racing to release similar products.
In addition to the AI Pin, Apple is also accelerating development of its upcoming AI-powered smart glasses, which have been given the code name N50the report claims. Apple clearly has competition in this area, as do other companies, including Meta (which is perhaps the most). successful player when it comes to smart glasses) and Snap (which plans to release its “Specs” later this year) – are working on similar products.
Apple’s new smart glasses, which will likely include a high-resolution camera, will be released publicly sooner rather than later, with Bloomberg reporting that the company is “targeting production to start as early as December, ahead of a public release in 2027.”
In addition, Bloomberg reports that Apple is working on AirPods with new AI capabilities.
All of these items will be designed to connect to the iPhone and will include Siri, the company’s virtual assistant, as a crucial part of the user experience, the outlet said. However, the glasses are described as “more luxurious and feature-rich” than the AirPods and the AI Pendant. TechCrunch reached out to Apple for more information.
