The AirPods with cameras is not expected to be released until next year, even if a demo video is released. The video was concealed within the release candidate of macOS Tahoe 26.7, hinting at a release being prepared by Apple. The big reveal may not be until next year.

In the release schedule this year for Apple products, the AirPods are apparently not on the schedule, as the company is trying to fix challenges in software and the supply chain. The AirPods in May were reported to be in the advanced testing stage, with mass production slated to start but has then been delayed.

The AirPods with cameras will be providing information for Siri AI to use features from Visual Intelligence and are not capable of video or photo capturing. We could see the new AirPods with the 20th anniversary iPhone.
