One of the few reasons to use iPhone is that it doesn't constantly surveil you. If Apple would just pivot and say "next iPhone will constantly record everything it hears and sees to process for our AI (Apple Intelligence(tm))" a lot of people would drop iPhone. Apple Watch is just extension of screen and notifications from the phone, so there is no overlap. AirTags have nothing to do with AI stuff. AirPods apparently now have some translation stuff, but again no constant monitoring. Apple does not produce glasses and seeing the backlash to Meta's glasses I don't think they will. A pin or pendant might be more acceptable, although hiding it will be just as big of an issue as with the creepy Meta glasses, but any AI thing Apple makes should be a separate product if they want to maximize profits.

  Unless those glasses are just display for iPhone or at least lack cameras it will not go well for them

  Some models have built in cellular as well, so it's possible to use one without your phone entirely.

  All of which are extensions of the phone functions

    I asked for a source apart from Apple's own marketing. That's just a Apple marketing page
