  "account": "Apple is reportedly inching closer to releasing camera-equipped AirPods, with a demo video discovered inside the macOS Tahoe 26.7 release candidate offering a glimpse into their functionality. The demo shows a man using the camera in the AirPods to read the title of a book. This would allow the user to \"save\" whatever catches their eye, with the information sent to Apple's Visual Intelligence and answered by Siri. The camera-equipped AirPods, codenamed B790, reportedly have a safety feature that alerts the user if their hair obstructs the camera. The release candidate also mentions other potential products, including the iPhone 18 series, the foldable iPhone Ultra, and the camera-equipped AirPods themselves. While nothing is confirmed, the leaked footage and earlier reports suggest Apple is preparing to launch the camera-equipped AirPods, potentially alongside the iPhone 18 series.",
