Apple is working on a small, wearable AI pin equipped with multiple cameras, a speaker, and microphones, reports The Information. If it actually launches, the AI pin will likely run the new Siri chatbot that Apple plans to unveil in iOS 27.

This would be a completely stupid product idea. I could see why Humane tried such an obviously stupid product, they were a startup that was trying something just in case, and ended up proving how stupid the concept is.
It doesn’t matter how bullish one might be about AI, this is a terrible product to facilitate that interaction.
Fine. A camera… That can’t tell where the user is looking. Having a device on speaker is generally a rude thing to do.
No one wants to skip having a screen, hell even for AI fanatics video and image generation is a huge use case that this product wouldn’t do anything for.
I could imagine a “body cam” pin as a phone accessory. But not as a standalone device. More useful would be something head mounted, and glasses could even do gaze tracking. But I could see people not wanting to wear glasses and selling for a body cam experience for some use cases. But interesting with an AI seems impractical since you would have no agreement on what you are looking at to answer a question.
