Apple has delayed its AI wearable pendant project, originally designed as a camera-equipped necklace for Siri integration. The company is now prioritizing AI enhancements for the Apple Watch and plans to launch camera-equipped AirPods and smart glasses in 2027. Additionally, Apple is exploring a screenless health-focused wearable. This strategic shift moves Apple away from independent AI devices toward expanding AI interactions within its existing ecosystem, focusing on vision, voice, and health management.
