Apple was in a race for launch for the last few weeks. Starting from MACS and iPads from iPhone 16E, the company has now cleaned its deck for a month. That said, Apple has now shifted its attention to new innovations, such as airpods with cameras. According to Mark Gurman of Bloomberg, Apple is “actively developed” a version of Airpods, which will feature integrated cameras. Although this technique is not expected to appear in the upcoming AirPods Pro 3, which are slapped for release this year, it certainly works for future models. Gurman reports that airpods with cameras are being designed to understand and interact with their environment to increase the ability of airpods.
Apple to promote camera control with new airpods
With the introduction of the iPhone 16 lineup, Apple introduced the camera control, a new button that allows users to take photos and accommodate the settings, while also unlocks a feature called visual intelligence.

Instead, we can expect more viewing integrated current characteristics in Apple’s ecosystem.
“Bad news is that Apple is unlikely to groundbreaking new AI features in this upcoming WWDC. Instead, it will probably plan to bring current capabilities into more apps,” says Gurman.
The exact nature of this expansion remains uncertain, given the current boundaries of the non-found characteristics of Apple.
Overall, it seems that the “catch-up” for AI instead of a major jump for iOS 19 AI will be more than the year. Apple is still ready to release the new ‘LLM Siri’ backnd with iOS 19.4, although the launch of the converted assistant has been delayed. Additionally, new facilities of Siri, planned for iOS 18.4, have also been postponed, in which some time is expected in the coming year, “Dine with D iOS 19.
