Apple Delays AirPods with Cameras Until We’re Terrified Enough to Buy Them
KEY POINTS
- •At Apple’s September 2025 event, the iPhone Duo foldable and iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max were announced.
- •Active noise cancellation was introduced to the AirPods 5, Apple’s cheapest model, expanding ANC accessibility.
- •Mark Gurman from Bloomberg reported the AirPods Pro with cameras are delayed until 2027, sparking privacy relief.
At the September Apple event, amid the usual razzle-dazzle, Apple chose to reveal the iPhone Duo foldable, the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max flexers, and finally dropped active noise cancellation on the bargain-bin AirPods 5. But the real party pooper? The rumored AirPods Pro with cameras did not make the 2025 guest list. According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, these undercover eavesdropping earbuds have been shoved to 2027. Fans (mostly dank meme lords and privacy advocates) can breathe a sigh of relief – for now. Meanwhile, Siri Recap will awkwardly narrate your Watch Series 12 and Ultra 4’s tired business trips. The future is not full-cam earbuds. Thank goodness.
