They can take my wallet with my credit and debit card in it if most of the rumored features and technical specifications come to fruition.
That's right, folks, the tiny startup that could, Apple, is once again not seeking to be the first but in the best in skating to where the puck will be. This represents the biggest advancement in the iPhones screen since iPhone X. The ALL NEW anti-reflective coating is a game changer, allowing for the best-in-class Retina display to truly shine in all light conditions. Apple can't wait to see what their delighted, ultra-pro customers are able to do with the INCREDIBLE leap forward in display technology. Apple thinks you're gonna love it.
So, what is the difference between this and the nano-texture display that Apple sells an upsell upgrade on their Studio Display, Pro Display XDR, MacBook Pro, and iPad Pro devices?
Will Apple market this upgraded display technology as Nano texture as well on their iPhone 17 Pro models come September?

You might. Have you seen on Samsungs how anti-reflective this thing is in person? It's still glossy in principle, but it's phenomenal. The difference is not subtle, it's huge. And if Apple pushes/helps to research an improved version soon?... Can't wait for this to come to iPhones.
Fellow matte display enthusiast
I'm considering an upgrade from my 14 Pro to 17 Pro... 6.3" v 6.1", 48MP Telephoto, 24MP Front, 12GB RAM, USB C, Smaller Dynamic Island, possible Dark/Deep/Pacific Blue
Worth remembering that Corning gets a *lot* of R&D funding from Apple. It’s unlikely Apple didnt have access to the tech, so there’s likely valid reasons (maybe involving scale or yield?) that made Apple the follower not the leader in this case, not sloth
Does the girl come with the phone? If so, is AppleCare available?
I was focused on the Air model but, with news of an orange color for the Pro and Pro Max, along with this news, I am now eying this series.

Would this essentially be a matte effect instead of glossy? I've been using matte screen protectors for the past year or so and love them. Would there be any quality issues if I'm putting a matte (privacy) protector on a phone that has matte glass?
A simple matt coating already reduces the display quality. A double matt coating will certainly not improve anything!
That's all you'll ever get from apple but most likely will be WON'T until at least 10 years passes by and the tech meets the apple very old tech standard
I use a matte glass screen protector on my iPhone 16 Pro and it’s an understated greatly how good it is under bright lights and bright sun light. It is absolutely phenomenal and the added benefit of not setting fingerprint oil on the screen or any smudges.
As a hater of all cases and screen protectors, it’s going to really suck if I have to decide between titanium frame and a more durable screen. I just want the most durable phone. Aluminum dents too easily, but a more scratch resistant screen would indeed be tempting. Just put it on the Air and let me buy the shiny new model please!!
