This year: iPhone display with anti-reflective coating in planning

If you don’t like reflections, you can now use the MacBook Pro or the iPad Pro for an additional charge, which are matt and almost free of reflection thanks to the nanote texture coating. So far, Apple had not brought the technology into the iPhone, not even in the Pro models. The reason was apparently that the necessary coating process could not be scaled up sufficiently to cover the demand. The problem has now been solved. A “reliable source” From macrumors claims that Apple has made a breakthrough – apparently in good time for the available iPhone 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max, which are expected in September.

More reading -friendly and matt

The new anti -reflective coating is intended to combine mirror freedom with scratch protection. This should be particularly interesting for users who want more color fidelity than with the current shiny displays. If the look were similar to the nanote texture displays from iPad and Mac, this could also enable paper -like reading experience. The matte display is also potentially more eye-friendly, especially for personal experiences from the Mac & I editorial team, especially for glasses wearers.

As mentioned, Apple plans only for the Pro models, not for iPhone 17 and/or iPhone 17 Air. Rumors had already existed in 2024, but these had smashed. Instead, Apple continued to use its Ceramic Shield to achieve a particularly durable display glass.

At an additional cost or standard?

It remains to be seen whether Apple installs the anti -reflective coating by default or users give users freedom of choice (including an additional charge). The latter would probably make sense, because the differences are quite large, should it be like the nanotext display display.

Apple is said to have succeeded in optimizing its production process in recent months. Thus, the new coating does not slow down the production, competitors like Samsung now deliver similar matt umbrellas. To do this, use the Gorilla Glass Armor material, which promises 75 percent less relocions, at the same time increase the contrast in bright environments.
