Apple is working on an AirTag-sized wearable that could launch as early as 2027. According to\u00a0The Information<\/a>, the device would feature multiple cameras, speakers and a microphone. The report indicates that this could still be cancelled, as this is in its very early stages.<\/p>\n

The report says:<\/p>\n

\u201cApple\u2019s pin, which is a thin, flat, circular disc with an aluminum-and-glass shell, features two cameras\u2014a standard lens and a wide-angle lens\u2014on its front face, designed to capture photos and videos of the user\u2019s surroundings, the people said. It also includes three microphones to pick up sounds in the area surrounding the person wearing it. It has a speaker, a physical button along one of its edges and a magnetic inductive charging interface on its back, similar to the one used on the Apple Watch, the people said. Apple engineers are aiming to make the pin the same size as an AirTag, only slightly thicker, one of the people said.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The Information\u00a0also says that Apple is trying to beat OpenAI\u2019s first wearable, which will reportedly launch in 2026. Additionally, Motorola is also aiming to launch a Humane AI Pin-like AI companion called Project Maxwell, but a release timeframe is currently unclear.<\/p>\n

Speaking of AI Pin, the report from The Information also mentions the failure of Humane. \u201cWhether an Apple pin would sell well is uncertain. Humane, a startup founded by two former Apple employees, struggled to gain traction in 2024 with its own wearable AI pin, which reportedly sold fewer than 10,000 units.\u201d<\/p>\n

The AI Pin had a small projector, slow speed and poor battery life, but it doesn\u2019t look like Apple\u2019s variant would offer the projector, thankfully.<\/p>\n

A recent report also indicates that Apple is partnering with Google to use Gemini as the new basis for Siri<\/a>. Additionally, another report suggests that Apple is working to replace the Siri interface with a chatbot for<\/a> this year\u2019s iOS 27.<\/p>\n
