“We don’t need cameras in everything”: Internet in splits as Apple will reportedly release AirPods with cameras in 2027

Here comes Apple at it again. This time claiming to develop AirPods Pro complete with built-in cameras. Yes, you read that correctly. Your earbuds might soon be watching you instead of the other way around. This next-level tech won't find a place in the AirPods Pro 3 set to be released later in the year but might arrive as early as 2027.

Apple says the goal is AI-driven features and improved spatial audio - but let's be honest, we all know someone is going to accidentally live stream their entire day straight from their ears. As Mark Gurman writes, these teeny cameras could potentially analyze your surroundings, so you can ask Siri things without having to pull out your phone.

As soon as the news came out someone (@DJMPURE) took to his X account and commented:

"We don’t need cameras in everything."

And honestly, fair point. We already have cameras in our phones, laptops, doorbells, refrigerators, and probably a few things we haven't yet realized. At this rate, we are one software update away from toasters that take selfies of our morning bagels.

Sure, AI-powered AirPods sound cool, but do we need our earbuds to analyze our surroundings? The next thing you know, they are judging our life choices—"Based on your location, you have walked by the gym five times without entering. Do you need directions inside?"

As expected, the internet had thoughts and plenty of jokes. Some people got excited over futuristic possibilities, while others simply wondered if their AirPods would now start spying on their bad decisions. A few tech lovers embraced the idea, the rest of them, however, seemed to be stuck on one question that needed to be answered, Why?

At this rate, we are just a few updates away from AirPods reminding us to stand up straight and drink more water. Let me walk you through how the netizens have reacted!

Netizens reacted as Apple will reportedly release AirPods with cameras in 2027

"So live tracking my life?"

At the end of the day, whether you are excited about AI-powered AirPods or worried they will judge your life choices, one thing is for sure: Apple will keep pushing boundaries on what our gadgets can do (whether we ask for it or not).

Maybe these camera-equipped AirPods will revolutionize hands-free interactions, or maybe they will just be good at watching us ignore our to-do lists. Either way, the future is coming and perhaps the other day your earbuds will remind you it is time to call Mom and finally clean your room.
