The idea of AirPods with cameras has been reported before. Specifically, it’s been expected that IR cameras could be fitted and that these would aid spatial audio by being better able to assess the user’s environment.
Now according to Bloomberg, the idea was shelved some years ago — but is now back as a priority because of Apple Intelligence. It’s not clear in what way the cameras could help with AI, but the report is that the feature is now a priority for both the Apple Intelligence and AirPods hardware development groups.
