iPad Anti-Reflective coating a double edged sword?

[mwille64]

You can bet on the coating wearing out...

Apple has decided to apply an anti-reflective coating on the new iPad Air 2. And whilst it seems like a great idea at first, I'm wondering if it is really a good idea in the long run.

Those of us who wear glasses will understand that even with decent quality anti-reflective coating(E.g Crizal), they wear out fairly quickly, especially if you clean them with a cloth often.

The experience lots of Macbook Retina users have with the AR coating speaks volumes about this problem...
