Multiple technology outlets report that Apple has suspended work on the rumored camera-equipped AirPods Pro, citing posts by leaker “Kosutami.” Kosutami, a prototype collector with a limited track record of accurate Apple hardware disclosures, previously suggested the device would include cameras and connect to Apple’s AI features. In a newer post referencing an earlier June comment about a “case concluded,” Kosutami clarifies that the project is “suspended,” without providing further technical or scheduling details.
The suspension claim follows a May report by Bloomberg that described the camera AirPods Pro as nearing completion and reaching an “advanced” testing stage. Bloomberg also indicated Apple could delay or revise a launch depending on the quality of “Visual Intelligence” features for Siri, which the rumored cameras would support. Other reporting describes the cameras as intended to provide visual information to Siri for AI-related functions rather than to capture photos or video.
The sources do not identify a reason for the suspension, though Bloomberg previously noted component sourcing challenges in the broader industry. Overall, the claim is unconfirmed by Apple.
