Apple is reportedly developing camera-equipped AirPods that may be ready for release soon, according to a video found in the macOS Tahoe 26.7 release candidate. The video demonstrates how the AirPods can capture images of a book and utilize Visual Intelligence to assist the user. When the user spots something they'd like to save, they can simply ask Siri to store it for later.
The camera feed is sent to Visual Intelligence, allowing Siri to respond to questions about the user's surroundings and record data. Users are warned to ensure the AirPods are not obstructed by hair, as this could lead to alerts. The B790 codename has also been mentioned by Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, who suggested a potential September launch timing, possibly coinciding with the unveiling of the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and foldable iPhone Ultra. macOS Tahoe 26.7 also alludes to the presence of other unreleased Apple products.
