"You're the Flock camera now." The post If You Thought Pervert Glasses Were Bad, Wait Till You See Apple’s Leaked AirPods appeared first on Futurism .
Apple has unveiled a new set of AirPods that feature camera technology, sparking concerns over potential privacy breaches. In a demo video unearthed from macOS files, a man demonstrated the device's capabilities by using the cameras to read the title of a book he held up and asking the device to save visually interesting items for later.
The camera-equipped AirPods, still in development, are designed to assist Siri's "Visual Intelligence" features, enabling users to ask questions about their surroundings or transcribe text. However, the devices are not intended for taking photos or recording videos, though hardware hackers may still attempt to unlock the cameras for covert purposes.
The release of these camera-equipped AirPods follows a series of controversies surrounding Meta's AI-powered smart glasses, also known as "pervert" glasses. While Apple generally enjoys a better reputation for privacy, the introduction of such devices raises significant privacy concerns among users.
