AirPods could soon have IR cameras

Apple is rumored to be upgrading AirPods by adding a camera, with expectations these could be mass-produced by 2026. The report comes from technology analyst Ming-Chi Kuo who shared their thoughts through a Medium post. “My latest supply chain survey indicates that Apple plans to mass-produce new AirPods with camera modules by 2026, featuring an IR camera similar to the iPhone Face ID receiver (not transmitter)” writes the analyst. They say the multinational electronics manufacturer Foxconn will be the supplier for the IR camera, “with an annual capacity plan of 18-20 million units, or about 10 million AirPods.” This is the same manufacturer that Apple uses for its other products, including the iPhone.
