Why?

I don't know.

I can tell you there is some AI in AirPods already.

Yeah.

But what this means is something actually a little more insane, right?

This is the cameras in the AirPods, right?

Probably.

Oh, this is like the humane iPods.

So right now, AirPods can do live translate type stuff with AI.

Because they've always called it machine learning and neural nets and stuff like with active noise cancellation, transparency mode, and all the stuff that they do with processing with the compute on AirPods.

But AI AirPods is adding sensors and more compute to these things to make them almost a little more standalone of an AI thing.

Totally.

I don't know how I feel about that.

Yeah, I don't want cameras on my earbuds.

Yeah.

I think we should preface this by saying these are all things that they could be working on, not necessarily guaranteed upcoming products.

For sure.

There is for sure tons of crazy unannounced, unreleased products underground in Apple Park somewhere that will never see the light of day.

This could be six of those.

But they're at least thinking about it.
