According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, Apple may release its camera-equipped AirPods (model B790) this year, possibly in September. The more advanced version (B798) is still planned for 2027. The B790 model has been spotted in iOS 27 code.
Analyst Mark Gurman from Bloomberg reports that Apple has been working on AirPods with cameras for visual AI. Initially planned for this year, the release was postponed, but now it may happen in 2026. The advanced model, B798, is slated for 2027, but the B790 variant, which is further along in development, could debut this year. References to B790 have been found in iOS 27 code, and its launch is planned for this year. The differences between B790 and B798 are unclear. These AirPods are expected to have longer stems to accommodate cameras and an LED indicator that warns when data is sent to the cloud.
