Apple has suspended development of an AI wearable device equipped with a camera, reports Bloomberg. The device was described as a pin or pendant that could be attached to clothing or worn around the neck.
A camera would transmit information about the wearer’s surroundings to Siri, similar to rumors of AirPods with cameras potentially arriving as soon as 2027. The AI pin would have visual intelligence features, with the Siri AI able to answer questions about where the wearer is or what they are looking at.
The prototype Apple worked on was described as being similar in size to an AirTag, with a thin, circular disc shape. It was made of aluminum and glass, with a physical control button on the side.
Rumors suggest Apple could introduce wearable AI as early as 2027, but with development postponed, that seems unlikely. Apple is working on several other wearables, including a screen-less fitness tracker, AI smart glasses, and AirPods with cameras.
