An X user @samhenrigold has uncovered a reference in the iOS 27 source code that mentions a new Apple wearable device identified by the model number B790. While the reference offers little information, it confirms that the device will support features related to Visual Intelligence.
Visual Intelligence is a novel feature that allows users to inquire about objects using Siri through the default Camera app on iPhones running iOS 27. This feature is available on the iPhone 15 Pro and later models.
While the specific device referenced in the source code remains unknown, it undoubtedly features a camera. The code provides instructions on how Visual Intelligence operates, enabling the recognition of landmarks, text, known objects, and brand logos—all functionalities reliant on a camera.
We may be witnessing the early hints of either mixed-reality Apple smart glasses or possibly a new version of AirPods equipped with cameras, though the latter seems less plausible given recent rumors indicating that Apple has halted development on the AirPods Ultra featuring cameras.
