Apple will soon launch new AirPods with a built-in camera, and the company is in the final stages of finishing touches, according to the latest reports. It will be the first wearable device from Apple that will make the most of AI capabilities.

Bloomberg reports that the device is in the final stages of testing. Companies like OpenAI and Meta are about to launch similar wearable devices, and users are eagerly waiting to see what the differences will be between them.

Although equipped with a camera, these new Apple AirPods will not be able to take selfies or record videos. The built-in cameras will act as the eyes of Apple's internal AI assistant. Siri will help the user detect and understand what is happening around the user.

Reports indicate that Siri will use low-resolution visual data from the cameras to answer questions about the user's surroundings.
