Kuo suggests that Apple is developing a lighter version of the AirPods Max and the purported product could make it to the mass production stage in 2027

In addition to upgrades to existing products, the Cupertino-based tech giant is also tipped to introduce a new product — AirPods with built-in IR cameras. As per Kuo, the purported device may also enter mass production next year. This corroborates previous reports which claimed that the company was developing AirPods and Apple Watch models equipped with cameras which offer similar functionality as the smart glasses.
