Apple is developing new AirPods with infra-red cameras to enhance augmented reality capabilities.

The IR cameras will detect environmental changes, adjust audio output based on head movements, and enable in-air gestures.

These new AirPods are expected to be compatible with the Apple Vision Pro headset, creating a spatial audio experience.

Production of the new AirPods is predicted to start in 2026 with Foxconn supplying the IR components.

The addition of cameras could lead to more advanced health-tracking features in the future.

Apple is also rumored to be working on a cheaper version of the Vision Pro headset, expected to be released around the same time.

The AirPods Pro may be the first to receive these new features, along with machine learning improvements and AI enhancements in the upcoming iOS 18 update.

Apple is planning a larger model of the Apple Watch with a 2-inch display for its tenth anniversary.

New firmware has been released for various Apple products, indicating Apple's continued focus on innovation in its wearable technology products.
