Now, Bloomberg <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2026-02-17\/apple-ramps-up-work-on-glasses-pendant-and-camera-airpods-for-ai-era?accessToken=eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJzb3VyY2UiOiJTdWJzY3JpYmVyR2lmdGVkQXJ0aWNsZSIsImlhdCI6MTc3MTM1MTA0MCwiZXhwIjoxNzcxOTU1ODQwLCJhcnRpY2xlSWQiOiJUQURBNUtLSVVQVUwwMCIsImJjb25uZWN0SWQiOiIxRDUxMTM1MkY1MkI0Njg3QUM5OTVEQkM0RjdBOEQ1RiJ9.VgprPjgy0QC39hkI9HD3po2qouRWhx0THRa6R0dr-0k\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">writes that<\/a> the development of such a device \u2014 along with two other AI-powered items \u2014 is accelerating as Apple looks to stay competitive with other tech giants that are racing to release similar products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition to the AI pin, Apple is also speeding up the development of its upcoming AI-powered smart glasses, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2025-10-01\/apple-shelves-vision-headset-revamp-to-prioritize-meta-like-ai-smart-glasses\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">which have been code-named N50<\/a>, the report claims. Apple obviously has competition in this space, as other companies \u2014 including Meta (which is arguably the most <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2026\/02\/13\/technology\/meta-facial-recognition-smart-glasses.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">successful player<\/a> when it comes to smart glasses) and Snap (which <a href=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2026\/01\/28\/snap-gets-serious-about-specs-spins-ar-glasses-into-standalone-company\/\">plans to release<\/a> its &#8220;Specs&#8221; later this year) \u2014 are working on similar products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Apple&#8217;s 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 &#8220;targeting the start of production as early as December, ahead of a public release in 2027.&#8221; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Additionally, Bloomberg reports that Apple is working on AirPods with new AI capabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All of these items will be designed to connect to the iPhone and will include Siri, the company&#8217;s virtual assistant, as a critical component of the user experience, the outlet notes. The glasses are being described as &#8220;more upscale and feature-rich&#8221; than the AirPods and the AI pendant, however.
