Apple reportedly plans a breakthrough wearable AI pendant about the size of an AirTag, with an always-on camera and microphone for Siri and its own chip but limited local processing, relying on a paired iPhone for most tasks; the device could launch around 2027 as part of broader Siri upgrades and other camera-equipped wearables, though the project remains in early development and not guaranteed.
Bloomberg sources say Apple is developing an iPhone-dependent AI pendant worn on clothing, with a camera for computer vision and a Siri-enabled microphone (and possibly a speaker); it would offload most processing to the iPhone, making it lighter in on-device power. The device mirrors Humane’s AI Pin but reportedly won’t do much on its own. Apple is also reportedly developing smart glasses with dual cameras and AI features, tightly integrated with the iPhone, though both projects are still early and release timing is unclear.
The AI pendant 'Friend' in NYC faced public outrage, graffiti protests, and criticism over its limited functionality and privacy risks, with its CEO claiming the backlash was part of a marketing stunt, raising broader questions about AI ethics and societal trust.
