00:00Apple is reportedly developing a tiny AI pin with cameras.
00:05Apple has long obsessed over shrinking tech while making it smarter, but its latest idea
00:10could be the boldest yet.
00:12Instead of another iPhone mini, the company
00:15is reportedly developing a tiny wearable AI assistant you can pin to your clothes.
00:20Still experimental, it would run Apple's next-generation Siri chatbot.
00:25If released to consumers worldwide, how it would work the pin is
00:30described as a thin flat disc with an aluminum and glass body, slightly thicker than an AI
00:35tag.
00:36It would include two front-facing cameras, one standard lens, and a
00:40one wide angle, along with three microphones to capture sound around the wearer.
00:45A built-in speaker would allow the device to play audio, and a physical button along the edge
00:50would provide manual control.
00:52Like the Apple Watch, the pin is expected to support
00:55wireless charging.
00:56Apple reportedly wants the final hardware to stay close to AI.
01:00Airtag dimensions, though there is currently no built-in clip or attachment mechanism.
01:05That could change as development continues.
01:07The device is said to be capable of operating on
01:10its own.
01:11Its cameras, microphones, speaker, and button would allow
01:15allow it to function without being tethered to another Apple product.
01:18Though it's unclear whether Apple would
01:20sell it as a standalone device or bundle it with future hardware, such as smart glasses.
01:25If it launches, the pin will likely rely on the revamped Siri experience
01:30Apple plans to introduce an iOS 27.
01:33Apple has not publicly said anything
01:35regarding the project.
01:36AI wearables have struggled to gain traction so far
01:40but interest across the industry remains high.
01:43Open AI for instance
01:45is working with Johnny Ive on a small AI-focused device while
01:50Meta has pushed into AI-powered glasses.
01:53Amazon has also experimented
01:55with wearable AI hardware, including its B-bracelet, Apple's pin,
02:00if released, would put the company directly into that emerging category.

02:08Notes that a launch could happen as early as
02:10as 2027, but cautions that the project remains in its early stages and could
02:15still be scrapped.
