    That shit illegal in states that have recording laws. Someone needs to sue.

    States as in US? Because if that’s the case, this won’t be illegal in any way shape or form.

    I don’t understand why people think there is some law out there that supersedes the first amendment which unambiguously protects video recording in anything other than a bathroom, changing room, or the like.

    Even in private property doesn’t have a law stating you can’t record, it’s just that you are likely to be trespassed if you break a private establishments no recording policy.

    And the footage itself doesn’t even become illegal even when the trespass was in fact illegal, I heard - can’t require deletion I think? (Of course the property owner or their associates might be bigger than you!)

    They probably are designed for low resolution because Apple couldn't mass produce better cameras affordably. Plus there is other hardware they don't have space for.

    This will most likely follow the iPhone camera business model where new model AirPods will keep getting upgraded cameras.

    that is going to be outside anyones control.

    Apple could theoretically lock it down [for a period of time] but darn—you made me realize the clones will have real cameras and look 1:1 before long

    …lol “Siri, verify nearby AirPods” (…then the bad guy keeps a real pair activated nearby? and it’s back to creepy)

    -

    This may be a first of its kind hardware issue for Apple, unless I’m forgetting something
