Apple is ramping up development on three AI-powered wearables that could reshape how users interact with their iPhones. The company plans to launch smart glasses, an AI pendant, and camera-equipped AirPods by 2027, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. All three devices will pack cameras and connect directly to the iPhone, letting Siri leverage visual context to understand and respond to what users see in real time. With production slated to begin in December, Apple's making its boldest bet yet on AI-powered consumer hardware.
Apple is making a major push into AI-powered wearables with three new devices that could hit the market by 2027. According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, the company's accelerating work on smart glasses, an AI pendant, and camera-equipped AirPods - all designed to work seamlessly with the iPhone and supercharge Siri with visual intelligence.
The timing couldn't be more strategic. While Meta has been dominating the smart glasses space with its Ray-Ban partnership, selling millions of units and iterating rapidly, Apple's been noticeably absent from the wearable AI hardware race. That's about to change. The company's reportedly targeting December to start production on its first smart glasses, putting them on track for a 2027 consumer launch.
Apple's smart glasses will pack speakers, microphones, and a high-resolution camera capable of capturing photos and videos, Bloomberg reports. But the real differentiator isn't the hardware specs - it's how these devices will plug into Apple's ecosystem. All three products are designed to connect directly to the iPhone, turning them into visual sensors that feed context to Siri. Imagine asking Siri what you're looking at, and it actually knows because it can see through your glasses or pendant camera.
