Meanwhile there's rumours of Apple working on airpods with built-in cameras π
It's not really a rumour ..
Cameras that donβt record are arguably more akin to sensors?
It really depends on how the circuit is built. If the image processing is a separate circuit that only sends commands to the main unit, it's fine.
If the cameras send the image data to the phone for processing, it changes things quite a bit from a privacy and security standpoint.
Another question is the resolution of the sensor. If it's something like 128x128px, it's not a big deal.
