MacRumors • • technology
Key Points:
- The second iOS 27 developer beta contains code referencing a product codenamed B790 that can relay images from cameras on either side of a user's head, hinting at a new Apple wearable device.
- The code may relate to Apple's rumored smart glasses or camera-equipped AirPods, with the latter considered more likely due to their advanced development stage; AirPods Pro 3 were codenamed B788, while smart glasses are codenamed N50.
- Apple is reportedly working on "AirPods Ultra" and smart glasses featuring Visual Intelligence, allowing users to get information about objects they look at via Siri, a feature already available on iPhone 15 Pro and newer models.
- The iOS 27 code suggests Visual Intelligence will work with landmarks, text, and known objects, enhancing user interaction through the Camera app's new "Siri" mode.
- Bloomberg reports indicate the "AirPods Ultra" and smart glasses are expected to launch in late 2027, signaling Apple's continued investment in camera-equipped wearable technology.
