Apple quietly shelves 'most innovative product in years' amid
fears it would spy on everyone

The tech giant was first rumored to be developing AirPods with
built-in cameras in 2024 by well-known Apple analyst Ming-Chi
Kuo, who has a long track record of accurately predicting
unreleased hardware, specifications and launch timelines.

Just weeks ago, code discovered in Apple's latest iOS 27 beta
appeared to hint that the futuristic earbuds were still
in development.

However, Apple prototype collector and hardware leaker Kosutami
posted a single word on X last Friday: 'suspended.'

. . .

The name of the 'analyst' is interesting ...

Ya know, this sort of thing not only records
every detail of YOUR life - but those of
EVERYBODY in range without their consent.

This is beyond anything Orwell could imagine,
and the Stasi wet dream.

Remember the Apple monitor stand?

$990

Not a monitor, just a bent piece of
metal with some holes drilled into it.

And Apple cultists bought it.
