Apple's upcoming smart glasses, AI pendant, and AirPods with cameras detailed in new report
"All three of these are being "built around the Siri digital assistant", which will "rely on visual context to carry out actions". All of the products will be paired to an iPhone, and all of them will have cameras, but the AirPods and pendant will come with lower-resolution cameras that are there only to help the AI, and not to actually take photos or videos."
"The glasses, on the other hand, will be "more upscale and feature-rich", with better cameras. Apple CEO Tim Cook revealed at an all-hands meeting with employees earlier this month that the company is working on new categories of products enabled by AI. Cook said "the world is changing fast" and that's why Apple is investing in new technology. Before it launches entirely new product categories like these, maybe Apple should finally launch the comically delayed smarter, AI-powered Siri after all?"
"And speaking of the pendant, a similar idea was tried a few years ago by Humane with disastrous results, and the obvious question remains: why wouldn't you just use your phone? Or your smartwatch? Apple's pendant will be an iPhone accessory and not a standalone device that aims to replace your iPhone, like the Humane AI Pin, serving as an always-on camera for the iPhone, which also includes a mic for talking to Siri."
Apple is developing three wearable products: smart glasses, AirPods with cameras and expanded AI, and a pendant that can be pinned or worn as a necklace. All devices are built around Siri, use visual context for actions, pair with an iPhone, and include cameras; AirPods and the pendant use low-resolution cameras solely to assist AI, while the glasses will be more upscale with better cameras. The pendant acts as an iPhone accessory and always-on camera with a mic for Siri, with processing closer to AirPods than an Apple Watch. Questions remain about capability and usefulness given prior failures and reliance on iPhone pairing.
