Apple's Future Eyewear: Smart Glasses and Camera AirPods on the Horizon for 2027

There's a lot of buzz about Apple's plans for 2027—a pair of smart glasses and AirPods with cameras are in the works! These new gadgets are said to use some of the same technology found in Apple's Vision Pro headset. Last year, Meta and Ray-Ban rolled out their smart glasses with cameras, and Apple wants to create something similar. The idea is to put that fancy "Visual Intelligence" tech, which scans the environment and gathers useful data, into more accessible devices.

Apple has been dabbling with smart glasses for a while now, but the Vision Pro AR headset was the big launch. Now, it looks like we'll see a return to this idea, but with some cool twists. The smart glasses might hit the market in 2027, while updates to the Vision headset line are expected sooner. The smart glasses won't be the only new accessory. We're hearing rumors about AirPods with built-in cameras. No, these won't be for taking pictures. Instead, infrared cameras might be used for gestures. Imagine stopping or starting music playback with a simple wave of your hand! These futuristic AirPods could also work hand-in-hand with a cheaper Vision headset set to debut in 2025.
