Apple appears to have accidentally leaked its camera-equipped AirPods, revealing the first real look at how Apple's AI-powered earbuds could work.
A demo video found inside the macOS Tahoe 26.7 release candidate shows AirPods using cameras and Visual Intelligence to recognize what you're looking at and save information through Siri.
But there's a catch. Despite the leaked demo, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reports that the camera AirPods are no longer coming in 2026 and have been pushed to 2027.
In this video, we break down the leaked AirPods demo, how the cameras could work, why the stems appear thicker, Apple's B790 and B798 camera AirPods projects, and why a finished demo ended up inside a release candidate even though the product itself was delayed.
