Apple is reportedly plans Three AI wearables built around Siri

Apple is pushing ahead with plans for its own take on Meta-style smart glasses, alongside an AI-powered pendant and camera-equipped AirPods, according to a report from Bloomberg reporter Mark Gurman. The three devices are said to include cameras and connect back to the Apple iPhone, letting Siri use visual context to carry out actions.

The smart glasses are the headline. The report points to production starting in December ahead of a 2027 launch, and says Apple has made progress on the project code-named N50. They’re expected to ship with speakers, microphones, and a high-resolution camera for photos and video, plus another lens aimed at AI features.

There’s no built-in display in this version. The idea is hands-free utility through audio and camera, with Siri handling calls, music, and quick actions based on what you’re looking at, like identifying objects, referencing landmarks for directions, or helping you in the moment with what’s in front of you.  The report also describes a second camera sensor dedicated to computer vision, similar to what’s used in Vision Pro.

The pendant is described as roughly AirTag-sized, designed as an iPhone accessory rather than a standalone device, and is meant to be worn either with a clip on clothing or as a necklace. It’s framed as an always-on camera and microphone for Siri input, and some people inside Apple reportedly call it the eyes and ears of the phone. It’s also described as relying heavily on the iPhone for processing, with a small dedicated chip closer to AirPods than an Apple Watch, and Apple has debated whether it needs its own speaker so you could talk to it without wearing AirPods.

The AirPods are described as using lower-resolution cameras mainly to help the AI work rather than to take photos or video, with timing that could be sooner than the glasses. 

This puts the spotlight back on Siri’s as Apple is still working toward a more chatbot-like Siri, and there’s talk it may lean on models co-developed with Google Gemini. If that’s the path, the stakes rise fast, because these wearables only work if Siri can confidently interpret what a camera is seeing and then take the right action. 

Nail that, and Apple has a clean ecosystem to push into a category where Meta already has a head start, while also stepping into the wider AI hardware race that OpenAI is building with Jony Ive in the mix.
