What to know

Apple's AI pendant is a disc about the size of an AirTag, Apple's small item tracker, according to a report from The Information in January 2026. The report said Apple engineers want it only slightly thicker than an AirTag.

The case is made of aluminum and glass, and the pendant has a button but no screen, the report said. It is designed to clip to clothing or hang from a cord around your neck.

Apple has not announced the pendant.
