    The AirPods’ cameras “aren’t designed” to snap photos or video but instead can take in “visual information in low resolution” that users can query Siri about, like asking the AI assistant what they should cook with the ingredients they have in front of them, according to Gurman. They may also use the cameras to help with things like turn-by-turn directions.

    So you got to hover that leak next to your ears? Nice they are low resolution but if they can recognise something sitting on a kitchen counter in front of you then that is not a relevant argument. They can 100% be used to identify people standing in front of you as well and that is going to be outside anyones control.

        States as in US? Because if that’s the case, this won’t be illegal in any way shape or form.

        I don’t understand why people think there is some law out there that supersedes the first amendment which unambiguously protects video recording in anything other than a bathroom, changing room, or the like.

        Even in private property doesn’t have a law stating you can’t record, it’s just that you are likely to be trespassed if you break a private establishments no recording policy.

      They probably are designed for low resolution because Apple couldn’t mass produce better cameras affordably. Plus there is other hardware they don’t have space for.

      This will most likely follow the iPhone camera business model where new model AirPods will keep getting upgraded cameras.
