What to know

What to know

Apple's AI pendant is expected to lean heavily on Visual Intelligence, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. Visual Intelligence is an iPhone feature that uses the camera to tell you about places and objects around you.

The pendant reportedly has an always-on camera and microphone for Siri, with no display or projector. Bloomberg reported in February 2026 that Apple plans to make this kind of camera-based AI central to its coming devices, including AirPods and smart glasses as well as the pendant.

Apple has not announced the pendant.
