The second iOS 27 developer beta has revealed something interesting about Apple’s future products. Some hidden code inside the update suggests that Apple may be working on a new device. This device could be part of the upcoming AirPods family or smart glasses with cameras. The discovery has created a lot of curiosity among tech followers, as Apple often tests future features inside its beta software before officially announcing them.
iOS 27 Beta Hints at New Apple Product Called AirPods Ultra
A developer named Sam Henri Gold found this code while checking the system files. He shared that the code mentions a product with the name “B790.” This code name is not linked to any current Apple product, which is why it is getting attention from developers and analysts on the Apple developer platform. It suggests that Apple is quietly preparing something new in its wearable device lineup.
What the Code Shows
The code says this unknown device may be able to send “two images from cameras on both sides of a user’s head.” This means the device could use more than one camera at the same time. This detail has created two main ideas. Some people think it could be smart glasses designed to see the world from both sides. Others believe it is more likely to be new AirPods with built-in cameras that can also capture environmental data.
Currently, the company has already developed its next generation of headphones called AirPods Pro 3, which are codenamed as B788. However, since there is a different code name for this generation – B790, it can be implied that some other more sophisticated version of AirPods will be created soon.Apple’s wider ecosystem planning, including macOS 27 WWDC 2026 wishlist features, is also part of ongoing discussions across its software lineup.
AirPods or Smart Glasses?
There is also another Apple product in discussion called smart glasses. These glasses are rumored to be codenamed N50. Both AirPods with cameras and smart glasses are believed to be part of Apple’s long-term wearable technology plans. However, reports suggest that AirPods with cameras may be developed faster than the smart glasses project. Users can learn more about the current product lineup on the official Apple AirPods page.
It should not be required of such devices that they have a camera to take pictures and videos just like your phone. The camera can, in fact, be used for computer vision purposes. In other words, it will enable the machine to make sense of what the person is seeing in real-time.
Visual Intelligence Feature
Apple also has another feature being developed called Visual Intelligence. The feature is currently active for iPhone 15 Pro and later models. The feature is designed to help users recognize objects, text, and location through camera technology with AI. Visual Intelligence can make its debut in iOS 27 in a totally different way.

They can get access to it via the Camera application in a unique “Siri” mode. In such a way, users will be able to observe an object and ask any question to Siri. If a user looks at a houseplant, for instance, Siri will be able to describe the species of a plant and ways to care about it properly. It simplifies everyday routine and interaction.
The recognition system may recognize various buildings, texts, and objects. As examples from the code, we can find the Eiffel Tower, as well as an ordinary coffee mug. That means that the company is teaching its system to recognize various landmarks as well as common objects.
Visual Intelligence Feature
It is said that Apple is still developing these gadgets. Based on the information from the industry, it appears that the release date for the AirPods Ultra and the smart glasses will fall somewhere between late 2027. This indicates that the devices are still in early stages of development.
