The 13-second video clip shown on X appears to be just an excerpt from a longer video in which Siri suggests that the AirPods user can save objects they like for later, in this case, a book. This will allow Apple’s AI assistant to answer questions about its surroundings and saved items in the future. The full video also appears to address questions about setting up the earbuds—which may or may not launch as the AirPods Pro 4—as reported by MacRumors, and even warn the user if the camera is covered by hair. 

Given the current debate surrounding the increasing number of cameras in our daily lives, such as those in smart glasses like Meta’s, the issue of privacy arises. However, Apple analyst Mark Gurman of Bloomberg offers reassurance: As has been reported multiple times, the cameras in Apple’s next AirPods will not be used to take photos or videos but will be used exclusively for Apple’s Visual Intelligence. The launch is expected in September alongside the iPhone 18 Pro lineup.
