Google is broadening the horizon for its wearable ambitions with new Android XR glasses that feature cross-platform support. In a notable shift for the platform, the upcoming hardware will work directly with Apple's iOS devices.
The glasses have achieved official "Made for iPhone" (MFi) certification, ensuring that iPhone owners can seamlessly pair and use the device. This cross-ecosystem compatibility indicates Google is prioritizing broader mainstream adoption rather than keeping its extended reality experiences exclusive to Android users.
While hardware specifications, pricing, and launch timelines have not been fully outlined, the move positions Android XR as a versatile platform in the emerging smart glasses market.
