Apple's AirTag-Sized AI Pendant: Five Features Rumored So Far

Apple is developing a wearable AI device that's been described as a pin or pendant, and that could compete with a similar AI product coming from Open AI's Jony Ive. It wasn't clear if the wearable would actually make it to launch because Apple sometimes cancels projects, but it is still in the works and could come as soon as next year. 1.

The camera will be always-on and processing visual data, but users will not be able to use it for images. The Information reports there will be two front cameras, one with a standard lens and one with a wide-angle lens for capturing photos and videos. Apple's AI device will rely heavily on Visual Intelligence, which is currently an iPhone feature that uses the camera to provide users with more information about places and objects around them. 3. Siri is the Brain Rumors have described Apple's wearable as an AI pin or pendant, because it's going to be reliant on artificial intelligence. It's one of several AI-equipped devices that Apple is working on, and it will
