Late last month, The Information reported that<\/a> Apple was developing an AI wearable\u2014an AirTag-sized pendant with cameras that could be pinned to a user\u2019s shirt. Now, Bloomberg writes that<\/a> the development of such a device\u2014along with two other AI-powered items\u2014is accelerating as Apple looks to stay competitive with other tech giants that are racing to release similar products.<\/p>\n

In addition to the AI pin, Apple is also speeding up the development of its upcoming AI-powered smart glasses, which have been code-named N50<\/a>, the report claims. Apple obviously has competition in this space, as other companies\u2014including Meta (which is arguably the most successful player<\/a> when it comes to smart glasses) and Snap (which plans to release<\/a> its \u201cSpecs\u201d later this year)\u2014are working on similar products.<\/p>\n

Apple\u2019s new smart glasses, which will supposedly include a high-resolution camera, may see a public release sooner rather than later, with Bloomberg reporting that the company is \u201ctargeting the start of production as early as December, ahead of a public release in 2027.\u201d <\/p>\n

Additionally, Bloomberg reports that Apple is working on AirPods with new AI capabilities.<\/p>\n

All of these items will be designed to connect to the iPhone and will include Siri, the company\u2019s virtual assistant, as a critical component of the user experience, the outlet notes. The glasses are being described as \u201cmore upscale and feature-rich\u201d than the AirPods and the AI pendant, however. TechCrunch reached out to Apple for more information.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Late last month, The Information reported that Apple was developing an AI wearable\u2014an AirTag-sized pendant with cameras that…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":288905,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[365,351,363,364,353,111,139,69,145,3492],"class_list":{"0":"post-288904","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-artificial-intelligence","8":"tag-ai","9":"tag-apple","10":"tag-artificial-intelligence","11":"tag-artificialintelligence","12":"tag-iphone","13":"tag-new-zealand","14":"tag-newzealand","15":"tag-nz","16":"tag-technology","17":"tag-wearables"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/288904","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=288904"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/288904\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/288905"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=288904"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=288904"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=288904"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
