Apple is developing a wearable device with artificial intelligence: launch expected in 2027
Apple is working on creating an innovative wearable device with artificial intelligence, resembling a badge on clothing. The launch of the new gadget is expected to take place in 2027.
According to information from TechCrunch, the device will feature two cameras, three microphones, a speaker, and a physical button, all housed in an aluminum-glass case. Its size will be comparable to the AirTag, although slightly thicker. The cameras will be able to take photos and videos, and the gadget will be charged via a special panel on the back.
According to sources, Apple may accelerate the development of the new device in an effort to outpace competitors in the market. The first batch is planned to be produced in quantities of up to 20 million units. However, TechCrunch warns that the success of such products is not guaranteed. It is worth noting that a similar device from the startup Humane already failed to establish itself in the market, ceasing to exist less than two years after its launch.
Let us recall that on January 20, 2026, OpenAI confirmed the steady development of its first physical device, which will be presented by the end of the year. Insider leaks hint that its debut product will be an audio device.
| Company | Planned Launch | Number of Units in First Batch |
|---|---|---|
| Apple | 2027 | Up to 20 million |
| OpenAI | 2026 | N/A |
