A leaked demo video recently surfaced online, showcasing how Apple’s rumored camera-equipped AirPods could work. The leak suggested that the new AirPods could debut alongside the iPhone 18 Pro lineup next month.

Despite the leaked video, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman reports that Apple is still targeting a 2027 launch for the camera-equipped AirPods.

In the new report, Gurman notes that the demo video found in the latest macOS 26.7 release candidate may have suggested that the AirPods were nearing launch. However, Apple is reportedly still working through several challenges surrounding the product, including privacy concerns.

According to Gurman, Apple has developed two variants of the upcoming AirPods under the codenames B790 and B798.
