Whenever we think about the features we'd like to see in future versions of Apple's AirPods or AirPods Pro, we tend to imagine better battery life, improved ANC and so on. And it's fair to say that the one thing that never comes up is adding little cameras to our earbuds. But a new report suggests that Apple is experimenting with exactly that.
The report, by Mark Gurman at Bloomberg.com, says that Apple continues to imagine AirPods as part of its health and fitness offering as well as its music and Siri services. We've previously heard reports of Apple experimenting with various health sensors inside its earbuds, and now it's apparently considering the use of tiny, low resolution cameras too – not to take selfies of your ear canals but to monitor the world around you.
