A new video discovered in macOS Tahoe 26.7 Release Candidate shows Visual Intelligence in action on Apple's rumored camera-equipped AirPods. The demo features a user asking Siri to remember a book, with Siri responding, 'With Visual Intelligence, your world becomes savable.' The earbuds appear nearly identical to current AirPods Pro, except for a noticeably thicker stem.

Bloomberg's Mark Gurman previously reported that Apple may launch these camera-equipped AirPods under codename B790 as early as this year. Mac Rumors also found references to B798 in the macOS RC, including code for an 'image stream,' though that model is reportedly separate and expected in 2027.

Given Apple's inclusion of this demo in the release candidate, these camera-equipped AirPods are highly likely to be announced next month during the iPhone event. The video was also published by Aaron Perris on X.

The leak suggests Apple is advancing its integration of Visual Intelligence across its product lineup, potentially expanding Siri's capabilities through camera input on wearable devices.
