‘Apple is going to have to do a lot to convince me I want this’ — new report suggests Apple will release an AI Pin in 2027

According to the latest report from The Information, Apple is developing its own wearable AI Pin. The Apple product could potentially rival the forthcoming Jony Ive-designed AI hardware device that OpenAI has scheduled for a 2026 release.

The Information states that, “according to people with direct knowledge of the project,” Apple’s AI Pin is roughly the size of an AirTag and is equipped with multiple cameras, a speaker, microphones, and wireless charging. The device could be released as early as 2027, the report claims.

The Apple device is described as “a thin, flat, circular disc with an aluminum-and-glass shell,” and sounds fairly feature-packed. It’s designed to capture photos and video of its surroundings using standard and wide-angle lenses. There are three microphones, a speaker, and a physical button along one edge, as well as a charging interface similar to that used by the Apple Watch.
