An Apple AI Pendant Never Made Any Sense
At the start of this year, The Information reported that Apple was developing its own wearable AI pin, described as a “thin, flat, circular disc with an aluminum-and-glass shell” with two cameras. Then in February, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman said Apple was “ramping up work” on an AI pendant that could be pinned or worn like a necklace. Now he’s saying the AI pendant may not come out for a while.
