AirPods Pro 4 Could Feature Cameras to 'See Around You'
AirPods Pro 4 Could Feature Cameras to 'See Around You'
Apple's next-generation AirPods Pro will feature cameras to see around a user, according to the leaker and prototype collector known as "Kosutami." In a new post on X, Kosutami said that the next AirPods Pro will be able to see around the wearer, presumably via cameras in each earbud. Supply chain analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said that the 2026 AirPods Pro will feature a "more significant" hardware upgrade in the form at least one tiny infrared camera. He previously said AirPods with infrared cameras could recognize hand gestures and provide an enhanced spatial audio experience with Apple's Vision Pro headset. Kosutami added that the new AirPods Pro will be available at the same $249 price as the current model. This contrasts with previous rumors suggesting that the next AirPods Pro would be a secondary version of AirPods Pro 3 this year, sitting in the lineup alongside the current model. The Chinese leaker known as "Instant Digital" corroborated the rumors about new AirPods Pro featuring infrared cameras for gesture controls, with some additional details and clarifications. Rather than being a new generation, the 2026 AirPods Pro will apparently be a pricier, high-end variant of the ‌AirPods Pro 3‌ introduced in 2025, suggesting that both models will ultimately be on sale alongside each other. It is worth noting that Apple offers two version of the AirPods 4 at $129 and $179 price points, so this is a highly plausible move. The current AirPods lineup has offerings priced at $129, $179, $249, and $549. An additional product between the $249 ‌AirPods Pro 3‌ and $549 AirPods Max seems possible, especially given the rise of higher end Bluetooth earbuds from the likes of Bang Olufsen, Bowers & Wilkins, and Bose. Regardless, back in September 2025, Kuo reported that Apple is planning to introduce a successor to the ‌AirPods Pro 3‌ in 2026. This would be somewhat unusual since Apple normally waits around three years to make major changes to the AirPods' hardware. AirPods Pro 2 debuted at the iPhone 14 event in September 2022, and they were updated with a USB-C charging case and a few other tweaks in September 2023. Otherwise, Apple has waited about three years to update all of its AirPods models. Whether they are a new, high-end version of the ‌AirPods Pro 3‌ or full-fledged AirPods Pro 4, launch timing is currently unclear, but Apple typically announces new AirPods in the second half of the year. The original AirPods, AirPods Pro 2 and their subsequent USB-C revision, ‌AirPods 4‌, and ‌AirPods Pro 3‌ were all announced at Apple's annual ‌iPhone‌ event in September.

Disappointed to learn Bad Bunny wore Zara, effectively promoting the brand to millions. Although Zara has made admirable strides to address labor conditions, fast fashion can never be ethical because it depends on rapid production and cheap prices, which results in worker exploitation.

The FF7 Rebirth soundtrack is finally available in my region on Spotify.

I’m not saying that I’ve got ”Let’s Go, Mt. Corel!” on repeat right now, but I’m not not saying it.

With Alton Brown becoming a proper youtuber, the Fallow guys cornering the ”real restaurant chefs” market, and Chef John never changing, the other ”western” YouTube cooking channels can just shut down now. We have everything we need here.

”It’s one Houses of Parliament, Michael. What could it cost, £20 billion?”
At first I thought this table was a joke. But no, the proposals to restore the Houses of Parliament really are costed at a min of £8.4b and to take 19 yrs; max, £19.4b and 84 yrs. A normal country would go: that's absurd. Let's build a new one for a billion.

I mean… Use it for good? That’s an attainable goal, Elon.

This guy is like the scientist in Spider-Man who doesn’t want to cure cancer, he just wants to turn people into dinosaurs.

Except it’s not dinosaurs, it’s hurting people.

Spotify just started playing In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida (Full Length). 17 minutes and 44 seconds of I. Ron Butterfly.

It sounds suspiciously like rock and or roll.

Finally got around to ”Wake Up Dead Man” and it was an absolute delight, as expected. Also nice that two actors, who were absolutely shafted the last time they were in a movie, got a nice scene together at the end. 5/5.

May Rian Johnson’s and Daniel Craig’s partnership continue for a long time.
