These cameras are not for capturing photos or videos but rather to provide visual data for AI-powered features like landmark-based navigation and grocery shopping assistance. Despite being in late-stage testing, the product faces potential delays due to concerns about Siri's visual intelligence capabilities and significant privacy risks without compelling use cases. AI
