… Bloomberg's Mark Gurman said in his newsletter 'Power On' on the 22nd (local time), "CEO Cook is dropping hints about a next-generation core product, similar to before the launch of Apple Watch and Vision Pro," and added, "an AI wearable device centered on visual intelligence."
It is known that Cook mentioned at an all-hands meeting earlier this month that visual intelligence is one of the most popular features of 'Apple Intelligence,' and that the company is going "all in" on AI investment.
Previously, Bloomberg reported that Apple is accelerating the development of three wearable devices. All these devices are expected to be equipped with Siri, which has been redesigned based on Google's Gemini model. The camera will be used not for taking pictures but for recognizing the wearer's surroundings in real time and transmitting it to Siri.
The smart glasses, codenamed 'N50,' are said to be the most advanced product in development. Internal prototypes have already been distributed to the hardware engineering team, with production targeted for the end of this year and a launch expected next year. It is designed to use dual cameras to perform high-resolution shooting and computer vision functions such as object and space recognition separately.
The AI pendant is a device that acts as the "eyes and ears" of the iPhone, with a concept of being worn as a necklace or clip, equipped with two cameras, speakers, and three microphones. Camera-equipped AirPods are also said to be significantly advanced in development, with a possibility of launching in late 2026.
