Does The 9.7 IPad Pro's Screen Have Less Reflection Than The IPad Mini 4?

[beeinformed]

Hi,

I would appreciate some feedback from members who own both the 9.7 inch iPad Pro & the IPad Mini 4 (or have seen both in person) to comment on the anti-reflective coating on both of these models and which one (if applicable) shows less reflection as I have a vision problem involving glare that affects my reading.

Thanks in advance for your reponse to my question!

The iPad Pro 9.7 has a very innovative low Reflectance screen that reflects just 1.7 percent of the ambient light by using a new Anti-Reflection AR coating. It has by far the lowest screen Reflectance of any mobile display, so its image colors and contrast in high ambient light will appear considerably better than on any other mobile display.

I have both a 9.7" Pro and an Air 2 in my household. The Air 2 has a first generation anti-reflective coating, which is the same one used on the iPad Mini 4. The 9.7" Pro has a second generation coating that is noticeably better. While you can still see reflections at some angles, it is by far the best glossy glass display I've ever used. I will say that both generations of the anti-reflective coating offer marked improvements over the reflections on an iPhone screen, which has no coating at all. You'll still be getting a good product with the Mini 4 if you prefer the smaller size. Keep in mind though, text and UI elements will be bigger on the 9.7" model, which might be a plus if you have vision problems. Good luck with your purchase!
