9to5mac.com Michael Burkhardt 2026-03-19 04:28:25

I’ve been reviewing one of XREAL’s more recent releases of AR glasses: the XREAL One’s. These are certainly the most versatile pair of AR glasses I’ve tried out so far, and they actually really come to life somewhere you wouldn’t expect: the M4 iPad Pro running iPadOS 26. XREAL One come in at just under 3 ounces (84 grams), making them easy to just carry around. Why I enjoy them Typically, when you think about plug-in AR glasses, you’re using it for one of two things.
