Apple is in a late testing stage for a model of AirPods that include cameras, intended to feed visual information to its Siri voice assistant, Bloomberg reported.

The prototype is one of several planned devices that have been delayed due while Apple’s release of a more advanced version of Siri has been repeatedly pushed back, after it was first announced in mid-2024.

Initially Apple had planned to release the camera-equipped wireless earphones as early as the first half of this year, Bloomberg’s report said.
