Apple is said to be including a camera on AirPods, and through Visual Intelligence support, it can learn about the environment, and provide feedback to users with better context.
In addition to the camera on AirPods, Apple is now said to also want to integrate camera support on the Apple Watch. The camera may be placed behind the screen like on the iPhone, allowing users to use the Visual Intelligence feature with the smartwatch.
It will also make the device a complementary device for the use of artificial intelligence, in providing context based on a user's environment. This move is also expected to be part of Apple's method of focusing on offering artificial intelligence through their devices.
According to a Bloomberg report, Apple may introduce an Apple Watch with this camera as early as 2027, in line with the introduction of AirPods with a camera.
