Apple is in the early stages of developing a new AI-powered wearable device, according to multiple reports. [2, 5] The device is described as a small, circular pin, similar in size to an AirTag but slightly thicker, that would feature two cameras, three microphones, a speaker, and wireless charging capabilities. [2, 3, 4]
The development is viewed as a strategic move to compete in the nascent AI hardware space, particularly against devices anticipated from companies like OpenAI. [2, 6] While a potential launch could be as early as 2027, the project is reportedly in its initial phases and could be subject to cancellation. [3, 5, 9]
