Apple’s secret slate of upcoming hardware and features has begun to surface thanks to the macOS Tahoe 26.7 release candidate. Among the biggest revelations: AirPods with built-in cameras, a revamped Beats 360 over-ear lineup, an upgraded Apple TV, and a whole home hub reboot. Here’s what’s coming, straight from Apple’s own leaked files.
AirPods With Cameras & New Devices You’ll Actually Want
The leak reveals that Apple is developing AirPods equipped with cameras. Footage embedded in the Tahoe 26.7 candidate shows a demo in which a wearer films a book’s title using the AirPods and a feature dubbed “Visual Intelligence” prompts you to “save it for later.”([macrumors.com](https://www.macrumors.com/2026/08/22/top-stories-apple-leaks-camera-airpods/)) However, the earliest reports say these camera-equipped AirPods won’t ship until next year.([macrumors.com](https://www.macrumors.com/2026/08/22/top-stories-apple-leaks-camera-airpods/))
But the AirPods aren’t alone in the spotlight. The same macOS build unveils hints of over 20 unreleased Apple devices—new Macs, iPhones, iPads, and components tied to Apple’s growing home-ecosystem are among them. Siri AI features are flagged as nearly ready for public deployment.([macrumors.com](https://www.macrumors.com/2026/08/22/top-stories-apple-leaks-camera-airpods/))
Beats 360, Apple TV & Home Hub: What’s Pending
The Beats 360 over-ear headphones are shaping up to be a serious upgrade. Retail listings uncovered in the Tahoe leak indicate they’ll include interchangeable ear and headband cushions in Performance Knit and UltraPlush variants, several color options (including Pink, Black, Cloud, Sky, Navy, Volt), sweat and water resistance, plus a big leap in noise cancellation—about 1.75× better than Beats’ current Studio Pro.([macrumors.com](https://www.macrumors.com/2026/08/22/top-stories-apple-leaks-camera-airpods/))
On the Apple TV front, the next model is expected to ship alongside a fresh remote. It will reportedly house at least an A17 Pro chip, support a new Siri AI mode, have more RAM to handle that AI functionality, and might include Apple’s N1 wireless networking chip.([macrumors.com](https://www.macrumors.com/2026/08/22/top-stories-apple-leaks-camera-airpods/))
The leaked files also give us our best look yet at Apple’s long-rumored Home Hub. Its interface appears set to include a Widget Gallery that mirrors features already familiar from iPhones and watchOS—with live widgets visible to everyone in the home, but sensitive content blocked unless the primary device is present. A Smart Stack-style widget carousel will adapt automatically based on time, usage patterns, and location.([macrumors.com](https://www.macrumors.com/2026/08/22/top-stories-apple-leaks-camera-airpods/))
iOS 27: More Than Just AI Hype
iOS 27 is expected this September, with some new features already rolling out through the beta. A strong focus is on generative AI—particularly a version of Siri that’s more context-aware. But that’s not all. Alongside AI improvements, there are 30 additional changes for iPhones that span usability, design tweaks, and other system upgrades.([macrumors.com](https://www.macrumors.com/2026/08/22/top-stories-apple-leaks-camera-airpods/))
Among those changes are refinements that won’t grab headlines but aim to polish the everyday experience. Users can expect improvements to notifications, system stability, and likely deeper integration between hardware and software across Apple’s ecosystem.([macrumors.com](https://www.macrumors.com/2026/08/22/top-stories-apple-leaks-camera-airpods/))
Apple’s internal leak via Tahoe 26.7 is unusually revealing, offering more than just one or two product hints—it presents a vision of major upgrades across audio, video, home, and AI components. With all these products rolling out later in 2026 and beyond, the implications are clear: Apple is rapidly expanding where intelligent hardware meets ambient computing.
