Apple has reportedly cancelled work on camera-equipped Apple Watch and Apple Watch Ultra models that were planned for release in 2027.
The cancellation comes after rumors of smartwatches with built-in cameras to enhance Apple Intelligence features were circulating.
Mark Gurman reported that the project for a camera-equipped Apple Watch has been shelved, but Apple has not given up on developing future AirPods with tiny infrared cameras for AI features.
Apple is focusing on AI hardware development, including planning to launch its first digital smart glasses with onboard cameras, microphones, and speakers at the end of 2026.
