New Delhi: After unveiling the M5 Chip, now Apple is focusing on the launch of its AirPods Pro 3, which just hit the market, but many rumours already suggested that another, even more advanced pair of AirPods could be on the way next year, with the complete launch of built-in cameras. And if these many rumours are actually true, this would expand Apple’s audio lineup to its biggest range ever, reflecting the company’s recent push to offer more specialised versions of each product.
According to some reports, Apple is working on the latest AirPods Pro model, which is going to feature integrated IR cameras. These sensors would likely be used for AI-driven visual intelligence features, potentially it will interacting with Apple’s upcoming Vision products, or they might improve spatial awareness and gesture recognition. The reports also claim that the latest upcoming model will not replace the AirPods Pro 3, but rather exist as the higher-end version, consistent with Apple’s growing strategy of product diversification.
These rumours also follow Apple’s recent approach with the AirPods 4, which launched in two variants: one with the Active Noise Cancellation and one without the Active Noise Cancellation. This idea is to give the users multiple tiers of performance and price, instead of a single one-size-fits-all product. Apple’s gradual move away from its famously simple product grid, once championed by Steve Jobs, is now a clear strategy to serve its enormous user base. Not only can iPhone buyers now choose from several models spanning multiple price brackets, but Apple has also appeared set to apply the same innovation to its audio lineup products. Now, if we discuss the camera-equipped AirPods Pro remaining scarce, this could mark the next big leap for Apple’s wearables, blending sound, sight, and AI into a single ecosystem.
