AirPods will look around you
For example, imagine a situation where you are walking down the street and need to find out where a specific store is located. AirAccording to leaked information, Pods could use cameras to recognize signs and surroundings and then send you a message via Siri tell you which direction to go. Even more interesting could be the use of working with objects around you.

Apple Similar possibilities have been addressed for a long time through patents. One of them, for example, describes the use of cameras to determine the distance to objects, while other patents deal with gesture recognition or even reading lip movements using lasers. But gestures are still a big question mark. Some leaks claim that the new generation AirPods Pro could recognize gestures and respond to the user's movements, other information on the contrary says that the camera will be used primarily for AI and Siri and it won't bring any gesture control.

So if you're planning to buy this year AirPods Pro, maybe I'd wait a little longer. The B790 is due to arrive in 2026, but according to current leaks it won't bring any major revolution. It's more about improving the sound, ANC, battery oroneactivities, with the only more specific innovation so far being the temperature sensor.
The real revolution is not expected until 2027. That's when the AirPods Pro with cameras that could significantly expand the possibilities Apple Intelligence.
