    Let me guess. Add infrared cameras onto the Airpods, costing them very little extra, and using it as justification for an £80 price rise.

      I think it’s more so a selling point to get you to buy into the Apple sphere. It would work with other Apple gear, so you just have to buy that other stuff

    And this is why the Humane Pin was always a dumb idea. Apple, Google, Samsung, etc just needed to license some LL and diffusion models, then slap camera on all the headphones they make. Boom - instant humane like experience that’s faster, lighter, better looking, has better battery, etc etc.

    No futuristic projector UI, but that thing was pretty busted anyway.

    I doubt it’s for their fun headset since they’ve already abandoned it. I’m sure it’s going to be taking data for mapping or some other dumb bullshit with AI to describe what’s around you because you can’t fucking use your eyes.

    Apple is so bad now. Ugh.
