Hustler Words – Apple is reportedly diving deeper into the artificial intelligence arena with a wearable device, potentially a pin designed to be worn on clothing. According to a report by The Information, this device is envisioned as a compact pin equipped with dual cameras and a trio of microphones.
This development signals a potential escalation in the AI hardware race, especially considering recent remarks from OpenAI’s Chief Global Affairs Officer, Chris Lehane. Lehane hinted at an imminent unveiling of OpenAI’s inaugural AI hardware device in the latter half of the year, speculated to be a set of advanced earbuds.
Apple’s rumored device is described as a sleek, circular disc crafted from aluminum and glass, with aspirations to match the size of an AirTag, albeit slightly thicker. The pin is expected to feature two cameras—one with a standard lens and another with a wide-angle—for capturing photos and videos. It will also incorporate a physical button, a speaker, and a Fitbit-style charging mechanism on its rear.

Sources suggest Apple is expediting the development of this product to directly challenge OpenAI’s offerings. The pin could potentially hit the market in 2027, with an initial production run of 20 million units, according to the report. Hustlerwords.com has reached out to Apple for an official statement.
The success of such a device, however, remains uncertain. Humane AI, a startup founded by former Apple employees, previously launched a similar AI pin with built-in microphones and a camera. Despite initial promise, the product failed to gain traction, leading to the company’s closure and asset sale to HP within two years of its launch.
