AirPods with cameras are reportedly coming this year, perhaps with ‘AirPods Ultra’ branding. And after a new reveal, the rumored product makes a lot more sense to me.
New AirPods to add cameras for visual intelligence, but that may not be the whole story
Rumors from multiple sources have long pointed to AirPods gaining IR (infrared) cameras this year.
We previously assumed this new model would be a variant of AirPods Pro 3 at around $299. Similar to how you can choose AirPods 4 without active noise cancellation for $129 or with ANC for $179.
But with indications that Apple plans to expand its ‘Ultra’ product lineup this fall with the first iPhone Ultra and MacBook Ultra, an ‘AirPods Ultra’ name now seems more likely.
