Spotted by developer Sam Henri Gold on Twitter, iOS 27 beta 2 includes references to an upcoming Apple product codenamed B790, likely to be the rumored AirPods with cameras.
Apple has long been rumored to be developing a new variant of AirPods Pro 3 with cameras, which should bring Visual Intelligence to AirPods. Now, iOS 27 beta 2 offers a hint at its potential functionality.
Developer Sam Henri Gold found some sort of system prompt for codename B790 within iOS 27 beta 2, highlighting many key details for how these AirPods with cameras could work with Visual Intelligence:

Given the “two images from cameras on either side of user’s head” bit, it’s almost certain that B790 is in reference to the rumored AirPods with cameras. Gold initially speculated that this would be for Apple AI glasses, but given the codename – it’s probably the AirPods with cameras.
