Apple is making a stronger move into the wearables segment with built-in artificial intelligence. According to the latest reports, the company is simultaneously developing three different devices that aim to expand the iPhone ecosystem and place Siri at the centre of the user experience.
Smart Pin with Camera
One of the projects is a small device similar in size to an AirTag. The device is meant to be worn on clothing and equipped with a camera. The concept assumes that the pin will analyse the user's surroundings and use AI for real-time image processing. This is in response to the growing trend of so-called AI companion devices, which are also being developed by other market players.
ChooseTV N50 glasses getting closer to production
At the same time, Apple is accelerating the development of smart glasses with the code name N50. The device is said to offer a high-quality camera and more advanced features than other new accessories. According to reports, production could begin as early as the end of next year, with a market launch planned for 2027. The smart glasses segment is becoming increasingly competitive. Companies such as Meta and Snap are also developing their own solutions, investing in glasses with augmented reality and AI features.
AirPods with new AI capabilities
The third element of the strategy will be refreshed AirPods with artificial intelligence features. Technical details are not yet known, but it is understood that the hardware will be closely integrated with the iPhone and the voice assistant Siri. The entire product line is intended to operate within a single, cohesive ecosystem, where the iPhone will remain the central management hub, and AI will become the key interaction interface.
Apple is clearly accelerating its work on next-generation wearable devices. The smart pin, N50 glasses, and AI-enhanced AirPods are set to strengthen the company's position in the tech race. The products will be integrated with the iPhone and Siri, and the glasses are expected to be the most advanced element of the entire series.
