AirPods with cameras get their clearest leak yet
Included in today’s macOS Tahoe 26.7 Release Candidate is a short video that appears to show Visual Intelligence in action on Apple’s rumored camera-equipped AirPods. Watch it below.
The latest macOS Tahoe 26.7 Release Candidate has revealed a short video demonstrating Apple's rumored camera-equipped AirPods. The video features a man wearing the AirPods asking Siri to save something he's looking at, with Siri replying, "With Visual Intelligence, your world becomes savable." The AirPods in the video closely resemble the current AirPods Pro, with the only notable difference being a thicker stem.
A similar video was also published on X by Aaron Perris. According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, Apple could launch these camera-equipped AirPods as early as this year under the codename B790. The same video references were found in the macOS 26.7 RC, including code for an "image stream." It's worth noting that these AirPods are reportedly separate from another camera-equipped model Apple is developing under the codename B798, which is expected in 2027.
Given Apple's inclusion of this demo in the macOS 26.7 RC, it's highly likely these camera-equipped AirPods will be announced during the upcoming iPhone event.
