An X user @samhenrigold has discovered a reference in the iOS 27 source code indicating the existence of a new Apple wearable device with the model number B790. While the reference itself lacks detailed information, it confirms that the device will support features related to Visual Intelligence.
Visual Intelligence is an innovative feature enabling users to inquire about objects using Siri via the default Camera app on iOS 27 devices. This capability is available on the iPhone 15 Pro and newer models.
Despite the lack of details regarding the specific device mentioned, it is evident that it will integrate a camera, as the code provides guidelines on how Visual Intelligence operates—recognizing landmarks, text, known objects, and brand logos—all of which require camera functionality.
This leads to speculation that we could be witnessing the early signs of mixed-reality Apple smart glasses or a new iteration of AirPods equipped with cameras; however, the latter seems less probable, particularly in light of recent rumors that suggest Apple has halted development on the AirPods Ultra with camera features.
