Apple's AI Pin: A Phone Accessory?
18 Feb
Summary
- Apple's rumored AI pendant to heavily rely on iPhone for processing.
- New Apple smart glasses may mirror Meta's existing capabilities.
- Both devices are in early stages and could be cancelled.
Apple is reportedly working on an "AI pendant," a device that can be worn as a pin or necklace. Sources suggest this accessory would feature a camera and microphone, with potential for a speaker, and operate via Siri. However, unlike Humane's previous AI Pin, Apple's version is expected to rely heavily on an iPhone for processing power, similar to AirPods in capability rather than an Apple Watch.
In parallel, Apple is also developing smart glasses, reportedly taking cues from Meta's designs. These glasses are rumored to include two cameras, speakers, microphones, and AI capabilities for tasks like text interpretation and navigation. The key differentiator may be tighter integration with the iPhone ecosystem, potentially avoiding the disjointed experience some users encounter with other smart glasses.
Both the AI pendant and smart glasses are considered early-stage projects. While the smart glasses are more likely to be released, their final form and release date remain uncertain. The AI pendant, in particular, is described as an "early stage" concept that could be cancelled.
