Apple has temporarily halted development on a camera-equipped AI wearable, according to Bloomberg. The device, described as a pin or pendant, could be attached to clothing or worn around the neck. The camera would transmit information about the wearer's surroundings to Siri, similar to the rumored AirPods with cameras that could potentially launch as early as 2027.
This AI pin would feature Visual Intelligence capabilities, allowing Siri to answer questions regarding the wearer's location or visual focus. The prototype Apple developed resembled an AirTag in size, with a thin, circular disc shape. It was constructed from aluminum and glass, and included a physical control button on the side.
Although rumors suggested Apple might release the AI wearable by 2027, the delay in development now makes that prospect seem less probable. Apple is concurrently working on other wearables, such as a screen-free fitness band, AI smart glasses, and AirPods equipped with cameras.
