Apple’s Camera-Equipped AirPods Confirmed: See Them in Action
Apple is working on camera-equipped AirPods that are nearly ready to launch, based on a video MacRumors found in the macOS Tahoe 26.7 release candidate.
In a short demo, a man holds a book up so the camera in the AirPods can see the title. “With Visual Intelligence, your world becomes savable. See something you like? Just ask me to save it for later,” says the voiceover text.
Despite the video, Bloomberg‘s Mark Gurman now says the AirPods won’t be launching until next year.
macOS Tahoe 26.7 is Full of References to Unreleased Apple Products
The camera-equipped AirPods weren’t the only upcoming product to leak in the macOS Tahoe 26.7 release candidate that was seeded this week.
Over 20 other devices and several previously unknown details were discovered in the update, including upcoming Mac, iPhone, and iPad models, as well as several products for Apple’s home-focused ecosystem that we’re expecting to expand now that Siri AI is nearly ready to launch to the public.
Next Apple TV Rumored to Have Five New Features, Including Siri AI
Among the upcoming products discovered in macOS Tahoe 26.7 is a new Apple TV remote, and while it’s unclear what changes we can expect for the accessory, it should arrive alongside an updated Apple TV box.
The new Apple TV should come with an A17 Pro chip or newer, and it appears it will support Siri AI. The box should also come with increased RAM for the Siri AI capabilities, and it’s likely to feature Apple’s N1 wireless networking chip.
Apple’s Home Hub Will Have a Widget Gallery With iPhone Widget Support
One of the more intriguing products leaked in macOS Tahoe 26.7 is the long-rumored home hub device, and code from the update indicates that the device will feature a Widget Gallery to allow users to access content from various apps.
All users in the home will be able to see the widgets installed on the home hub, but content in widgets will only be visible when the primary linked device is in the home for privacy protection. The device will also feature a Smart Stack similar to that found on watchOS, which rotates through a variety of widgets and automatically displays the most relevant one at any given time based on time of day, usage habits, and other criteria.
30 New Things Your iPhone Can Do in iOS 27
Apple will release iOS 27 in September, and despite the company’s focus this year on refining its flagship operating system and nixing bugs, there are still many additional features on the way, not least of which is Apple’s new context-aware Siri, re-tooled for the generative AI era.
This year’s major iPhone software update isn’t all about AI, though, and we’ve put together an overview of 30 new things you’ll be able to do with the upcoming update.
Beats 360 Over-Ear Headphones Leak in Retail Listings

The upcoming Beats 360 headphones will have interchangeable ear cushions and headband cushions with both Performance Knit and UltraPlush materials available, while the headphones will be available in Pink, Black, Cloud, and Sky colors with cushion kits available in additional shades such as Navy and Volt.
