Best AI Device for Apple

Airpod Pro with camera that peaks out forward. Worn on one side or both.

Voice+airpod for best AI I/O. Camera to capture visual context. Minor buttons on device to capture photos/etc like Pause button today. Ear touching motion is natural.

Benefits
* Already a highly used wearable
* Lower profile than glasses
* Facing fwd naturally (vs pendant)
* Companion phone/watch apps

Drawbacks
* No visual screen on-device 
* Power source needed for camera might need an over ear clip like the Beats.

As an armchair hardware designer, this is the form factor I’d go with over glasses / pendant.

THIS IS THE NEXT IPHONE

I've been saying it for months...

Airpods are a better AI device than a pendant or glasses.

The consumer behavior is already there. Many people wear airpods 80% of the time already, even sleeping.

* Add forward facing line of sight camera
* Add always on microphone ("Hey Siri")
* Figure out power source (maybe necklace or have multiple pairs)
* Do most of the work on the phone/cloud over bluetooth
