Apple delays AirPods Pro with cameras until 2027

Apple announced new products at its September event, including the iPhone Duo, iPhone 18 Pro, and AirPods 5 with active noise cancellation. Notably absent were rumored AirPods Pro with cameras, which Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reports are delayed until 2027. The writer expresses relief, citing privacy concerns about ubiquitous recording devices and potential misuse despite low-resolution specifications.

I have too many concerns about a company — any company — putting cameras anywhere, especially in devices like earbuds that are now so ubiquitous in our daily lives.
