AppleInsider and 9to5Mac report that iOS 27 beta code contains references to image-handling from a pair of cameras, along with pointers to an upcoming Apple product codenamed B790. In both accounts, developers analyzing the latest iOS 27 developer beta (described as beta 2) note that the operating system includes logic for processing images captured by a camera-equipped device, which they say strongly suggests Apple’s rumored camera-equipped AirPods or AirPods Pro variant.
The outlets also reference that prior reporting and leaks have suggested Apple may have paused or changed plans for such a product, but the new code appears to indicate the project has progressed to the point where iOS includes supporting software components. Neither source provides confirmation from Apple, and the details remain limited to code artifacts and developer observations rather than confirmed hardware specifications or release timing.
Overall, the reports agree that the evidence comes from iOS 27 beta strings and internal codename B790, interpreted as supporting the idea of camera-equipped AirPods Pro.
