Should you wait for AirPods with Visual Intelligence?
This week, AirPods with Visual Intelligence leaked in a video hidden inside the macOS Tahoe 26.7 Release Candidate. It appears to show someone asking Siri to remember a book using Visual Intelligence and camera-equipped AirPods. That raised the possibility of an imminent launch. However, later follow-up says otherwise. Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman reports that camera-equipped AirPods remain on track for 2027. The B790 model shown in the video was reportedly a modified AirPods Pro 3 design that recently dropped off Apple’s 2026 roadmap. Apple continues developing a newer B798 generation.
Buy the $129 AirPods 4 if price matters most and you do not need noise cancellation. Choose AirPods 4 with ANC if you strongly prefer an open fit. For everyone else, AirPods Pro 3 remain the best purchase, especially when Amazon discounts them close to the price of AirPods 4 with ANC. They offer stronger noise cancellation, longer battery life, heart-rate sensing, and Apple’s hearing-health features.
