AirPods Pro with Cameras? Apple's Visual Intelligence Revolution
AirPods Pro Camera Leaks: Gesture Controls & Visual AI
Could your next pair of earbuds actually "see" the world? Recent leaks from industry insiders like Kosutami and analyst Ming-Chi Kuo suggest that Apple is preparing a significant hardware upgrade for the AirPods Pro in 2026. The standout feature is the integration of tiny infrared (IR) cameras in each earbud, designed to enable advanced gesture recognition and enhanced spatial awareness.
While current AirPods Pro 3 models focus on hearing health, this upcoming version—which may sit as a premium tier at $299 or replace the current $249 model—aims to power Visual Intelligence. We explore how these IR sensors (similar to Face ID technology) could allow for hands-free controls and seamless integration with the Apple Vision Pro headset. While a fall 2026 launch is typical, rumors suggest an earlier arrival as Apple celebrates its 50th anniversary.
