Overview
- Apple is reportedly prototyping a thin, flat circular wearable with an aluminum-and-glass shell that includes two front cameras, three microphones, a speaker, a physical button, and magnetic inductive charging.
- The device is described as roughly the size of an AirTag, slightly thicker, with no finalized attachment method and the ability to charge similarly to an Apple Watch.
- If it reaches market, the pin would likely surface Apple's forthcoming Siri chatbot experience expected with iOS 27, aligning with the company's recent partnership to use Google’s Gemini for Siri and Apple Intelligence.
- The project is in very early development and could be canceled, though reporting says Apple is accelerating work as competitors like OpenAI, Meta, and Amazon advance their own AI wearables.
- Coverage notes commercial uncertainty for the category, pointing to Humane’s AI Pin struggles and partial asset sale, while some reports also suggest Apple has considered a large initial production run of around 20 million units.
