Apple testing AirPods with built in cameras. Privacy is dead, I guess?
So Apple is already testing AirPods with built-in cameras. And honestly? It makes me sick.
This isn’t just another gadget. This is a camera that’s going to sit in your ears and constantly look at the world around you — and at everyone near you. “Low resolution”, “only when you ask Siri”, “there’s a tiny LED”… yeah, we’ve heard all these promises before.
Remember when Meta swore their Ray-Bans were totally privacy-friendly? Fast forward and we got creeps secretly recording women in changing rooms, bathrooms, and posting it online.
Now Apple wants a camera literally inside your ear. Every single day. On the subway, at the gym, in the office, at a bar. It will see your entire life and thousands of random strangers around you.
Real talk:
Would you actually buy these?
Is this peak convenient AI… or just straight-up mass surveillance with a shiny Apple logo?
Where the fuck is the line? Phone → Glasses → Earbuds… what’s next? Brain implant?
Drop your honest opinions below. I need to know I’m not the only one creeped out by this.
