Apple plans for a more durable display on the iPhone 17 were reported.
Plans for Anti-Reflective, Scratch-ReSistant Display 17 Havy The Seemingly Been is abandoned, according to the anonymous source. Testing.The iPhone 17 range was probably intended to continue this trend, since in March 2024 Leaker “Instant Digital” argued that the new display was in work. At that time, it was said that the coating would provide better resistance to scratches and improved antireflexive properties.
Now, the report from Macrumors, which quotes an anonymous source with reliable information, claims that Apple completely canceled this function. Presumably, Apple wanted to use a new anti-October coating for the iPhone 17 Pro, but faced the problems of scaling, since the process of applying the application for the coating was “too slow” for reliable mass production.
Apple offered in the past the parameters of anti-reflexive display, although they were usually available only for the iPad and Mac. The Pre-2013 MacBook Pros can be selected with a matte display with high resolution, and, possibly, a similar option for the nano-texture screen is available for the current M4 MacBook Pro, iPad Pro and IMAC.
it is quite possible that the company would like to offer an antireflexive coating for the iPhone, but taking into account the marketing efforts and patents of Apple, the improved durability would be the main goal.
in 2020, with the iPhone 12 line, Apple introduced Ceramic Shield. It was developed in partnership with Corning, which also created Gorilla glass armor used on the Samsung S24 Ultra.
Apple also periodically financed Corning's research. More recently, he gave the company $ 45 million in 2021, but this follows previous investments totaling about $ 850 million since 2017.
it is still necessary to find out whether the iPhone 17 range will include a new technology for increasing durability or is this idea really. Apple sometimes cuts the iPhone with average development, and recent reports of iPhone 17 displays, resistant to scratches.
The source of this last information about the iPhone 17 display is unknown, but this is believable. So, we gave this rumor a “possible” account.
