My latest supply chain survey indicates that Apple plans to mass-produce new AirPods with camera modules by 2026, featuring an IR camera similar to the iPhone Face ID receiver (not transmitter) writes the analyst.
If the report is correct, the new version of the earphones are expected to be used with Vision Pro and future headsets to enhance the user experience of spatial audio while strengthening the spatial computing ecosystem.
The IR camera can detect environmental image changes, potentially enabling in-air gesture control to enhance human-device interaction. Apple is expected to focus on spatial computing for competitive ecosystem growth.
