After eight years of operations, on-demand car-sharing platform SOCAR is set to end its services in Malaysia, marking the closure of one of the country&rsquo;s early app-based car-sharing platforms.
SOCAR has informed users that its Malaysian operations will officially cease on 31 August 2026. The company has not disclosed a specific reason for the decision, but users have already begun receiving notifications through the app regarding the upcoming shutdown.
The platform, which launched in Malaysia in 2018, allowed users to rent cars by the hour through its app, offering an alternative to traditional car rentals, e-hailing and public transport.
SOCAR Wallet Top-Ups And New Subscriptions Have Ended
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/c7b43670136a78428a6ac099565081cf214c18722a8fc8071ad7b08a9cd41bc9" />
As the shutdown approaches, SOCAR has also begun winding down several of its services.
From 15 August 2026, users will no longer be able to top up their SOCAR Wallet or purchase new monthly passes. Existing subscriptions will also be discontinued, with eligible users receiving a prorated refund for their remaining subscription period.
Users who still have money in their SOCAR Wallet can request a refund. SOCAR has also indicated that unused wallet balances may be eligible for transfer to a TREVO Wallet, although users should follow the instructions provided through SOCAR's official communication channels.
The company has said that the formal refund process will begin from 1 September 2026, with further instructions expected to be provided to affected users.
For those with remaining balances, it is therefore advisable to check their SOCAR Wallet and account details before the service officially ends.
What Made SOCAR Different From Traditional Car Rentals?
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/2552f9395392d2db1f2ab087600ef95a12b36f1d8b09f936ea7d1e488a1dd03b" />
SOCAR first launched in Malaysia in 2018 with a model designed around convenience and short-term car usage.
Instead of collecting a vehicle from a conventional rental counter, users could locate available SOCAR vehicles through the app, book them by the hour and unlock the cars using their smartphones.
The company's fleet was distributed across various locations, including condominium car parks, shopping malls, hotels and transport hubs, allowing users to pick up a vehicle closer to where they lived, worked or travelled.
The entire rental process was handled through the app, including vehicle inspection, unlocking and returning the car. This made SOCAR particularly appealing to urban users who needed access to a car without the costs and commitment associated with owning one.
At its peak, the service was seen as a potential alternative to car ownership, complementing existing e-hailing and public transport options in Malaysia.
TREVO Will Continue Operating In Malaysia
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/e0b90fe71f0ef652a1eed3230e307bb8df07d1784ce713543cd741804612ac86" />
While SOCAR is shutting down, its sister platform TREVO will continue operating in Malaysia.
The two services use different business models. SOCAR operated its own fleet of vehicles, allowing users to rent cars directly from the platform.
TREVO, meanwhile, follows a peer-to-peer (P2P) car-sharing model. Vehicle owners can list their cars on the platform and rent them out to other users, allowing hosts to earn additional income from their vehicles.
In that sense, TREVO operates somewhat similarly to an Airbnb-style marketplace for cars, with users able to choose vehicles listed by individual owners for trips, weekends and holidays. SOCAR has directed users towards TREVO as an alternative once its own Malaysian car-sharing service ends.
However, the company has not provided details on what will happen to SOCAR's existing fleet following the shutdown.
SOCAR Once Dominated Malaysia's Car-Sharing Market
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/e6feb31abc0d24ace8440241bd5f88458ede6669e9c82224cbc7f7122875bc8d" />
SOCAR's exit marks the end of an eight-year presence in Malaysia, where it became one of the most prominent names in the country's car-sharing industry.
In 2023, SK Inc, SOCAR Mobility Malaysia's largest shareholder, said the Malaysian platform had approximately 1.9 million members and held more than 90% of Malaysia's car-sharing market at the time.
SK Inc had entered Malaysia's mobility sector in 2017 through a joint venture with South Korea's SOCAR before securing management rights in SOCAR Mobility Malaysia in 2020.
In 2021, private equity firm EastBridge Partners and Sime Darby Berhad invested a combined KRW65 billion in the company, which was valued at around KRW250 billion at the time.
The company had also been linked to plans for an initial public offering (IPO), although those plans ultimately did not materialise.
SK Inc Reportedly Bought Out Financial Investors
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/b8309ddb33b11e32e2557b87848260bb5adf9ffdb8bd687ec9ea16e74ff21f6e" />
The shutdown announcement comes shortly after reports that South Korea's SK Inc was moving to buy out the entire stakes held by SOCAR Mobility Malaysia's financial investors.
According to reports by Korea Economic Daily, the transaction would allow the investors to exit following the failure of the company's planned IPO to materialise. The deal was reportedly structured around a US$6 million (approximately RM25 million) debt swap.
The timing of the reported transaction, which came just over a week before SOCAR announced its Malaysian shutdown, has drawn attention, although the company has not officially stated that the deal was connected to its decision to end operations.
What Happens To SOCAR Users Now?
For existing users, SOCAR's Malaysian service will remain available until 31 August 2026.
Those with remaining wallet balances should take note of the refund process, while users with active subscriptions should expect prorated refunds where applicable.
After SOCAR's closure, TREVO remains an available option for car-sharing in Malaysia, although its peer-to-peer model differs from SOCAR's fleet-based service.
SOCAR continues to operate in South Korea, where the company also offers Koro, a service aimed at foreign drivers.
For Malaysian users who have relied on SOCAR for short-term car rentals since its launch in 2018, the shutdown brings an end to an eight-year chapter in the country's growing shared-mobility industry.

TikTok could be taking its financial services push a step further by allowing users to send money directly through direct messages, potentially turning private chats into another way to make payments.
References to the feature were reportedly discovered in the code of TikTok&rsquo;s US iPhone app. However, TikTok has stressed that the feature is not currently being tested in any market, meaning it remains an early-stage project and may never be released.
How Would TikTok Payments Through DMs Work?
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/ef1767c296d36836de31ecfde0936a686e0925a0f670d847742ca041e69a06f7" />
According to reports, the proposed feature would allow users to send payments directly inside an existing TikTok conversation.
The recipient could reportedly &ldquo;tap to accept&rdquo; the incoming payment before a set expiry date, while the sender would receive updates on the transaction through push notifications or their TikTok inbox. There also appear to be references to users being able to attach a message or note to a payment, similar to the way users can add captions to transactions on services such as Venmo.
The idea would make sending money feel much like sending a normal TikTok message, potentially removing the need to switch to a separate banking or payment application. For example, users could potentially send money to friends after discussing a purchase, pay someone they met through the platform or transfer money to a creator &mdash; all without leaving TikTok.
TikTok Pay Could Power The Feature
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/b4f1eb2e394e4c8354c51f226e3d4b8d89f80a2c8404ddd5281aab8e6de31ce8" />
The reported peer-to-peer payment system could be powered by TikTok Pay, ByteDance&rsquo;s existing payment service.
TikTok Pay is currently available in Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam, where it is used for transactions through TikTok Shop. A peer-to-peer payment feature would represent a significant expansion of TikTok Pay, moving it beyond payments to merchants and towards direct transfers between individual users.
ByteDance has already explored similar ideas in China. Its Chinese platform, Douyin, has supported peer-to-peer payments through Douyin Pay, allowing users to make purchases, pay during livestream shopping and send tips.
TikTok Is Moving Further Into Financial Services
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/b7cf42b36c5f639b21ec516dee5766cb20f4434451b3c1c0333330bd900f5f8f" />
The reported feature fits into TikTok parent company ByteDance&rsquo;s wider push into financial technology and social commerce.
TikTok is no longer simply a platform for short-form videos. Users can already shop through TikTok Shop, purchase digital coins, send virtual gifts to creators and interact with businesses directly through the app. A direct payment system could allow TikTok to keep even more of those transactions within its own ecosystem.
According to Sensor Tower data cited in reports, consumers worldwide have spent more than US$2.9 billion (around RM12.3 billion) on TikTok so far this year. The platform has also reportedly remained the world's leading app for in-app purchase revenue since 2022.
With such a large amount of spending already taking place on TikTok, adding peer-to-peer payments could provide another way for the company to connect its social, entertainment and commerce services.
Could TikTok Challenge Venmo And Other Payment Apps?
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/37b6c11608191448f0b7bd8ec5f443d2aa2694ca76e6b28dd5fdfa0c1c1a5b96" />
A built-in payment feature could put TikTok into more direct competition with established services such as Venmo and Zelle in the US.
However, TikTok would have one major advantage: it already has a huge audience. Instead of convincing users to download another financial app, TikTok could place payment functionality directly into an application they already use to communicate, watch content and shop.
This could be particularly useful for creators and sellers. Users already share payment details such as Venmo or Cash App usernames through TikTok profiles, so an integrated system could potentially eliminate the need to move transactions elsewhere.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/1727d7a4a4cd4635abb9c250e3aafc82d55192e39af891dd9eec446a4b87a48e" />
Other social platforms are heading in a similar direction. X has been expanding its X Money service, while Facebook Messenger has offered peer-to-peer payments in the US for years.
The bigger trend appears to be social media companies attempting to evolve into &ldquo;everything apps&rdquo;, where users can communicate, shop and manage financial transactions in one place.
But There Are Privacy And Scam Concerns
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/898c09abb7bec5e58afbefee7c2eec752ed63c36d4d61b493a76f2df9e5625c5" />
Making payments as easy as sending a message could certainly be convenient, but it could also create new challenges.
A payment request appearing inside a familiar conversation could potentially make scams and fraudulent transactions harder for users to spot. Criminals could use hacked accounts, fake profiles or convincing messages to pressure people into sending money.
There are also concerns about younger users. TikTok has a huge teenage and young adult audience, and making payments almost frictionless could potentially encourage impulsive spending or make financial scams easier to execute.
TikTok's existing financial tools have also faced legal scrutiny in the US, with some lawsuits involving allegations related to financial and child exploitation, money transmission laws and money laundering. These cases concern existing features and should not be treated as evidence of problems with a peer-to-peer payment system that does not yet exist.
No Launch Date Has Been Confirmed
For now, TikTok's reported peer-to-peer payment feature should be viewed as a development project rather than an upcoming confirmed feature.
The discovery of code shows that ByteDance is exploring the possibility, but TikTok has said it is not currently being tested in any market.
There are also no confirmed details on potential transaction limits, fees, eligibility requirements, banking partners or whether the feature would launch in Malaysia, the US or other markets.
Still, the idea highlights how TikTok is evolving beyond social media and into commerce and financial services.
For Malaysian users, the more immediate takeaway is that TikTok Pay already exists locally through TikTok Shop. Whether Malaysians will eventually be able to send money to friends simply by opening a TikTok DM, however, remains to be seen.

Apink’s Jeong Eun Ji To Bring Solo Concert To Kuala Lumpur This October

The family of a father and his two daughters who were killed in a crash involving an Immigration Department lorry in Kuala Lumpur has called for a transparent and thorough investigation, saying they want all circumstances surrounding the tragedy to be fully explained.
The family was struck after an Immigration Department lorry lost control following a collision at the Maju Junction traffic light intersection along Jalan Sultan Ismail in the early hours of 19 August.
The crash claimed the lives of 53-year-old Shaik Mohd Firdaus Shaikh Yahya and his daughters, Siti Nor Sazlin, 25, and Siti Darwisyah Auni, 12. His wife, 55-year-old Norhayati Razali, survived but suffered serious injuries.
&lsquo;I Just Want Justice&rsquo;
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/e30bc16f02f431e716b23fdcf5c836c7527e9a16e611d93266b12aa4017843f9" />
Speaking to Sinar Harian, Firdaus&rsquo; brother-in-law, 69-year-old Mohd Nadzri Razali, said the family remains devastated by the incident and wants every aspect of the crash investigated.
&ldquo;I hope a full investigation will be carried out. We heard that the traffic light was red, but the vehicle still went through it... we want justice for the deceased.&rdquo;
Mohd Nadzri said the family wants authorities to clarify exactly what happened and ensure that any party found responsible is held accountable.
He said the family was initially informed that two people had died, before later learning that three members of the family had been killed.
&ldquo;I only ask for justice for my brother-in-law and his children,&rdquo; he said.
The family has also reportedly faced difficulties obtaining information in the immediate aftermath, with some of the victims&rsquo; personal belongings, including wallets, car keys and bank cards, initially unaccounted for.
Father And Two Daughters Killed In Jalan Sultan Ismail Crash
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/8ab71fa491443e6270f1ffc545ea114feac4108122f7bdba856b2b81ccc40e05" />
The fatal accident occurred at around 1am at the Maju Junction traffic light intersection along Jalan Sultan Ismail.
Preliminary police investigations found that an empty Isuzu &ldquo;Black Maria&rdquo; lorry belonging to the Immigration Department was travelling from the Kuala Lumpur Immigration Office towards Chow Kit to pick up detainees following an enforcement operation against undocumented migrants.
The 43-year-old Immigration lorry driver was reportedly travelling with its beacon lights and siren activated when the vehicle entered the intersection.
Police said the lorry was believed to have entered the junction while the traffic light in its direction was red. At the same time, a Proton Saga driven by a 50-year-old man was travelling through the intersection after receiving a green light. The Saga was reportedly unable to avoid the Immigration lorry, resulting in a collision between the two vehicles.
The impact caused the Immigration lorry to lose control and veer off the road, striking four pedestrians from the same family who were waiting at the junction. The lorry also collided with an Inokom Matrix that had stopped at the traffic lights.
Firdaus and his two daughters died at the scene, while Norhayati suffered serious injuries to her head, right arm and both legs.
Family Was In A Designated Safe Area
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/cf1cafd120761c3682399b432c86f578d75e6ebd6b2f57431320eee2062403e7" /> Image via <a href="https://www.nst.com.my/news/nation/2026/08/1514878/police-analysing-cctv-dashcam-footage-fatal-immigration-truck-crash">NST</a>
Police have said the family was not crossing the road at the time of the collision.
According to Kuala Lumpur police chief Datuk Fadil Marsus, CCTV footage showed the four family members standing in a designated pedestrian safe area at the road divider near the Jalan Sultan Ismail intersection, opposite Maju Junction.
Investigators are examining CCTV footage from the area, along with dashcam footage from the Immigration lorry, to establish the exact sequence of events leading up to the crash.
Immigration director-general Datuk Zakaria Shaaban confirmed that the lorry was relatively new and equipped with a dashcam, with the footage handed over to police as part of the investigation.
He also said the Immigration Department has guidelines governing the use of its vehicles and that its internal investigation would determine whether the driver had followed the required procedures.
Both Drivers Detained For Investigation
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/ca18c50993206edbfed6a75ff39ec97cc8ea6e0cbe3d78f089c00700464a0691" />
Police have detained both the Immigration lorry driver and the Proton Saga driver to assist with investigations.
Both underwent breathalyser tests and preliminary urine screenings, which returned negative results for alcohol and drugs. Police have also inspected the crash site, obtained available CCTV footage and are seeking independent witnesses who may have witnessed the incident.
The case is being investigated under Section 41(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987, which covers causing death by reckless or dangerous driving.
Investigators are expected to examine factors including the traffic light sequence, the use of the lorry's beacon and siren, the actions of both drivers and whether standard operating procedures were followed.
PM Anwar Orders Immediate Investigation
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/69161f90e860848bafda8b392441099cf102821acef42cfe5d3dfd0c84b8f65f" />
Following the tragedy, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim called for an immediate and thorough investigation into the crash.
Anwar expressed his condolences to the victims' family and said appropriate action must be taken without compromise if investigations uncover negligence, misconduct or any breach of the law.
The Immigration Department has also pledged to cooperate fully with police and conduct its own internal investigation, including reviewing compliance with standard operating procedures and safety requirements involving departmental vehicles.
Authorities have urged members of the public not to circulate unverified photographs, videos or claims about the crash while investigations remain ongoing.
Surviving Mother Regains Consciousness
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/e2542dd1d1c2e79651da1b953896bf6ce56c0d5720fb90f253a61ec011bcc315" />
Norhayati was initially admitted to the intensive care unit at Hospital Kuala Lumpur following the crash.
Her brother, Mohd Nadzri, later said that she had regained consciousness and was in stable condition.
The family hopes she can eventually be transferred to Hospital Raja Permaisuri Bainun in Ipoh or Hospital Teluk Intan for further treatment, subject to her medical condition and approval from doctors.
Police have yet to record her statement as investigators are giving her time to recover.
Three Victims Laid To Rest Together
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/e454a3418cf10a7c37bda5dc3fe1289d8540d194a8b2e9cc481ad1ce4acbf0a5" />
Firdaus and his two daughters were laid to rest together at the Kampung Air Hitam Labu Muslim Cemetery in Kampar, Perak, following the completion of their post-mortems.
Their remains arrived at the cemetery at around 10.30pm, where they were buried in a single grave at approximately 11pm.
Around 300 family members, friends and villagers gathered to pay their final respects.
For the family, the tragedy has left behind an unimaginable loss, particularly for Norhayati, who is now recovering after losing her husband and two daughters in the same incident.
As investigations continue, the family says its priority is simple: to understand exactly what happened and ensure justice is served for the three victims.

Family Seeks Justice After Father And 2 Daughters Killed In KL Immigration Lorry Crash

A 27-year-old Chinese national was taken to hospital after allegedly causing a disturbance at Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) Terminal 1, where she was filmed shouting and behaving erratically.
The incident, which took place on Tuesday (18 August), went viral after a short video showing the woman shouting in Mandarin circulated on social media. In the footage, she could reportedly be heard asking whether Singapore and Japan would &ldquo;surrender&rdquo;, while also making remarks about Malaysia and China.
However, police have since confirmed that the woman was suspected to be mentally unwell and had reportedly forgotten to take medication prescribed by her doctor. She was subsequently admitted to the psychiatric ward at Hospital Kajang and is said to be in stable condition.
Woman Seen Shouting At KLIA Departure Hall
<iframe style="border: none; overflow: hidden;" src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/video.php?height=476&amp;href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Freel%2F1090960533283336%2F&amp;show_text=false&amp;width=267&amp;t=0" width="267" height="476" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
The incident reportedly occurred at around 1.19pm at the International Departure Hall of KLIA Terminal 1, while the woman was waiting for a flight back to China.
According to KLIA District Police Chief Assistant Commissioner M Ravi Munusamy, the woman allegedly began shouting loudly, running, singing and dancing, disturbing other passengers in the area.
A 22-second video shared online appeared to show the woman standing barefoot in the terminal while speaking loudly in Mandarin.
In the video, she could reportedly be heard asking questions such as whether Singapore and Japan would &ldquo;surrender&rdquo;, while also demanding that people around her record or livestream the incident.
She was also heard making a disturbing statement suggesting that &ldquo;everyone dies together&rdquo; if she died in Malaysia.
The footage quickly attracted attention online, with many users speculating about the woman's identity and the reason behind her behaviour.
Man Tried To Take Her Phone

According to accounts accompanying the viral video, the woman had reportedly been livestreaming the incident on TikTok before a man believed to be her companion took her phone and attempted to lead her away.
Despite having her phone taken, she allegedly continued shouting and confronting people nearby.
Airport security personnel subsequently arrived and managed to calm the situation before taking her to the KLIA Terminal 1 police station for further action.
Some social media accounts claimed the disturbance lasted around 15 minutes, although these details came from witnesses and online posts rather than an official police timeline.
Police Say Woman Was Suspected To Be Mentally Unwell
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/099d51d1dcca4718e05b7cc28a35acbfee676db16a6b93c2c10cd329227198cf" />
Following the incident, police provided further clarification on what happened to the woman.
Ravi said initial investigations found that she was a 27-year-old Chinese national who had arrived in Malaysia as a tourist with a friend on 6 August. She was scheduled to board a return flight to China on 18 August.
Her companion reportedly told police that the woman had forgotten to take medication prescribed by her doctor, which may have contributed to her behaviour. Police said she was suspected to be mentally unwell and was not believed to be under the influence of drugs.
She was later taken to Hospital Kajang, where she was admitted to the psychiatric ward for further treatment. Authorities said the woman was in stable condition and that the Chinese embassy had been informed of the incident.
Viral Claims About Her Motive Remain Unclear
While some social media posts described the incident as a political outburst against Malaysia, Singapore and Japan, police have not indicated that the woman's statements were connected to any organised political or state-sponsored activity.
Her exact motivation for making the remarks also remains unclear.
Earlier social media reports had suggested various details about the woman, including claims that she had been stranded in Malaysia for months or had entered a restricted area without a boarding pass. However, these claims are not supported by the latest police accounts and should therefore be treated with caution.
The confirmed information from police is that she was in the international departure area while waiting for her flight home and was later taken to hospital for psychiatric treatment.
Police Urge Public Not To Cause Disturbances At KLIA
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/d6160f973e58f7ef0d4182447f52707c05b78cabed24c189933df39b40390b94" />
Ravi urged members of the public to avoid behaviour that could cause alarm or disrupt operations in public areas, particularly at KLIA Terminals 1 and 2.
The incident has since sparked widespread discussion online, with many social media users reacting to the woman's unusual behaviour and the statements captured in the viral footage.
However, with police confirming that the woman is receiving psychiatric treatment, the circumstances surrounding the incident appear to be more complex than the initial viral video suggested.
For now, the woman remains under medical care at Hospital Kajang, while authorities continue to handle the matter.

Woman Causes Disturbance At KLIA, Allegedly Calls For Malaysia, Singapore And Japan To ‘Surrender To China’

Apple appears to be getting closer to launching a new generation of AirPods with built-in cameras, after an apparent demonstration video was discovered inside the macOS Tahoe 26.7 release candidate.
The leaked video offers the clearest look yet at how Apple's unusual camera-equipped AirPods could work, showing the earbuds using Visual Intelligence to understand what the wearer is looking at and interact with Siri. While Apple has yet to officially announce the product, the discovery has added weight to reports that the technology could be coming sooner rather than later.
AirPods Could Give Siri A Pair Of Eyes
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
Here is your first look at AirPods with Cameras in action using Visual Intelligence. This video file came from macOS 26.7 RC <a href="https://t.co/yo7RI4MCeu">pic.twitter.com/yo7RI4MCeu</a>
&mdash; Aaron (@aaronp613) <a href="https://x.com/aaronp613/status/2089522745184760112?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">August 18, 2026</a></blockquote>

<script async="" src="https://platform.x.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
According to reports from MacRumors, a short video hidden within macOS Tahoe 26.7 RC shows a person wearing AirPods while holding up a book.
The demonstration suggests that the cameras on the earbuds would allow Siri to identify objects in the user's surroundings. In the example, the wearer looks at a book and asks Siri to remember it for later.
A voiceover in the video says:
&ldquo;With Visual Intelligence, your world becomes savable. See something you like? Just ask me to save it for later.&rdquo;
This suggests that the cameras are not designed primarily for taking traditional photographs or recording videos. Instead, they would provide visual information to Apple's AI-powered features, allowing Siri to understand the user's surroundings and respond based on what they are looking at.
For example, users could potentially look at a book and save its title, identify an unfamiliar object, remember a restaurant they have passed or ask Siri for information about something in front of them &mdash; without having to take out their iPhone.
How The Camera-Equipped AirPods Could Work
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/755c0aae8eee22a8daa31df3b66a0dd080aa2e4c6181289f629c5b07b7003d76" />
The AirPods shown in the leaked demonstration look similar to the current AirPods Pro design, although reports suggest the stems could be slightly thicker to accommodate the additional hardware.
The cameras themselves are not clearly visible in the video.
Previous reports have suggested that the cameras would capture relatively low-resolution visual information and send it to Apple's Visual Intelligence system. Siri could then process that information to provide context or save details for the user.
The technology would essentially turn the AirPods into a wearable visual assistant, giving Siri access to information about what the user is seeing.
There is also evidence that Apple is developing the feature specifically for the AirPods. Software references reportedly include an option to set up Visual Intelligence on AirPods, rather than simply using the existing Visual Intelligence features available through Apple's other devices.
Apple Could Warn Users If The Camera Is Blocked
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
Some additional info about AirPods Pro 4 with cameras, found in macOS 26.7 RC: If you have long hair that blocks the camera, there will be an error that is titled "Hair Detected" that says "to get the most accurate information about things in your environment, make sure AirPods&hellip; <a href="https://t.co/hUbWovpsyc">https://t.co/hUbWovpsyc</a>
&mdash; Aaron (@aaronp613) <a href="https://x.com/aaronp613/status/2089698085823734171?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">August 18, 2026</a></blockquote>

<script async="" src="https://platform.x.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

One of the more interesting discoveries in the macOS release candidate is an apparent warning related to the AirPods' cameras.
According to MacRumors, the software includes a &ldquo;Hair Detected&rdquo; message if the camera's view is obstructed. Another warning reportedly tells users:
&ldquo;To get the most accurate information about things in your environment, make sure AirPods are not covered.&rdquo;
This suggests that the cameras would need a relatively clear view of the user's surroundings to work properly.
It also gives us another indication that the cameras are intended to continuously or frequently analyse what is around the wearer, rather than simply being included as a novelty feature.
The AirPods Are Reportedly Codenamed B790
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/fb4d8377a15e59d94107dc026dd8b279925771ddbb7f342b7288e5116dc8d8ce" />
The upcoming camera-equipped AirPods are reportedly being developed under the internal codename B790.
References to B790 have reportedly appeared in Apple's software, alongside mentions of an &ldquo;image stream&rdquo;. This follows earlier reports from Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, who has claimed that Apple is working on camera-equipped AirPods.
There may also be another camera-equipped AirPods project in development under the codename B798, although reports suggest that model could arrive at a later date.
The B790 model is currently believed to be further along in development, potentially making it the first camera-equipped AirPods to reach consumers.
Could They Launch With The iPhone 18?
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/aaadc64f74f2544d507307d85ad0879e589b84960f0389e388975b00e8403574" />
The discovery of an actual demonstration video has fuelled speculation that Apple could introduce the new AirPods at its upcoming iPhone event.
Previous reports have pointed towards a possible launch alongside the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max, as well as Apple's rumoured foldable iPhone Ultra. However, reports have also suggested that Apple's plans could change, with one recent claim pointing towards a possible delay for the camera-equipped AirPods until late 2027.
For now, Apple has not confirmed a launch date, product name or pricing, so the September launch remains speculation.
Privacy Could Be A Major Concern
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/415f70458ea9167fffabdaa85ddee6b39b36e7a197f64544ff3dbb3f3211e91a" />
While camera-equipped AirPods could introduce some interesting new capabilities, the idea of putting cameras into everyday earbuds is also likely to raise privacy concerns.
Unlike a smartphone camera, AirPods sit close to the user's face and could potentially capture the surroundings without people immediately realising they are being recorded.
Apple is reportedly considering an indicator to show when the cameras are active, although the exact implementation remains unknown.
The company will likely need to clearly explain how images and visual information are processed, whether anything is stored and how people nearby can tell when the cameras are being used.
A Major Upgrade For Apple&rsquo;s AirPods
Apple's current AirPods Pro already offer features such as advanced noise cancellation, improved audio and health-related tracking capabilities. Adding cameras and Visual Intelligence could represent one of the biggest changes to the AirPods concept since their introduction.
Rather than simply being wireless earbuds, the new model could become another way for users to interact with Apple's AI ecosystem throughout the day.
For now, the leaked macOS video provides the strongest indication yet of what Apple's camera-equipped AirPods could actually do. Whether they arrive with the iPhone 18 series or at a later date, Apple appears to be exploring a very different future for its popular wireless earbuds.

AirPods with cameras sound futuristic… but raise privacy concerns too. Would you be comfortable wearing them?

Apple’s Camera-Equipped AirPods Leak Reveals How Visual Intelligence Could Work

Calling all Malaysian Orbits and Yves fans! K-pop soloist Yves is officially heading to Kuala Lumpur for the first time this November as part of her 2026 Asia and Australia Tour.

Yves is a South Korean singer and songwriter best known for being a member of the popular K-pop girl group LOONA (이달의 소녀).
Yves joined LOONA as the group's ninth member in 2017 and quickly gained attention for her distinctive vocal colour, elegant performance style and strong stage presence. She was also part of LOONA's sub-unit yyxy, alongside Go Won, Olivia Hye and Chuu. LOONA went on to build a dedicated international fanbase, particularly following releases such as &ldquo;Hi High&rdquo;, &ldquo;Butterfly&rdquo;, &ldquo;So What&rdquo; and &ldquo;Why Not?&rdquo;. The group became known for its ambitious concept, intricate choreography and experimental approach to K-pop.
