Late last month, The Information reported that<\/a> Apple was developing an AI wearable\u2014an AirTag-sized pendant with cameras that could be pinned to a user\u2019s shirt. Now, Bloomberg writes that<\/a> the development of such a device\u2014along with two other AI-powered items\u2014is accelerating, as Apple looks to stay competitive with other tech giants who are racing to release similar products. <\/p>\n In addition to the AI pin, Apple is also speeding up the development of its upcoming AI-powered smart glasses, which have been code-named N50<\/a>, the report claims. Apple obviously has competition in this space, as other companies\u2014including Meta (which is arguably the most successful player<\/a> when it comes to smart glasses) and Snap (which plans to release<\/a> its \u201cSpecs\u201d later this year)\u2014are working on similar products.<\/p>\n Apple\u2019s new smart glasses, which will supposedly include a high-resolution camera, may see a public release sooner rather than later, with Bloomberg reporting that the company is \u201ctargeting the start of production as early as December, ahead of a public release in 2027.\u201d <\/p>\n Additionally, Bloomberg reports that Apple is working on AirPods with new AI capabilities.<\/p>\n All of these items will be designed to connect to the iPhone, and will include Siri, the company\u2019s virtual assistant, as a critical component of the user experience, the outlet notes. The glasses are being described as \u201cmore upscale and feature-rich\u201d than the AirPods and the AI pendant, however. TechCrunch reached out to Apple for more information.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
