Meta and Samsung are apparently looking into people's ears too, but the path to in-ear cameras has proved to be a little tricky. The report, by Bloomberg, details the efforts of Apple's earbud rivals.

These unique buds combine over 40 hours of battery life with incredible sound and ChatGPT integration, and they're a solid buy at just $114 at Amazon.

The Soundcore Liberty 4 Pro wireless earbuds are Anker's most advanced to date, featuring a host of design and hardware upgrades, all while keeping a reasonable price. The noise-canceling buds cost $129.

"Feature creep" is defined on Wikipedia as "excessive ongoing expansion or addition of new features in a product." It goes on to demonstrate the problems, as "these extra features go beyond the basic function of the product and can result in software bloat and over-complication, rather than simple design."

Don't hold your breath for this feature any time soon, but it sounds like several brands are thinking about it.

A recent report claims that Samsung, Meta, and Apple want to incorporate cameras into their earbuds. Earbuds are among the most common accessories these days. Chances are you’ll find many people wearing them on the street.

Putting cameras in earbuds serves as an interesting stopgap to smart glasses, with Apple, Meta, and Samsung rumored to be working.
