Apple is reportedly planning to equip the upcoming AirPods Pro 4 with tiny infrared (IR) cameras embedded in each earbud. These cameras could allow the earbuds to “see” the world around you, enabling new gesture controls (like waving your hands to skip tracks) and improved spatial audio experiences — especially when used with Apple Vision Pro tech. The sensors might help track your surroundings to make sound more immersive and interactions more intuitive. This major upgrade is expected to arrive in late 2026, possibly at a similar price range as current Pro models.
