I’d gladly pay more for a screen like the Ultra in that photo.
shouldn't nano texture but cheaper since it saves them time and effort in polishing the glass??
I've never gotten a scratch on any iPhone I've ever had, so I'm not really worried about that. But anti-reflective is always nice.
I’m still asking the question no one seems to answer. Why are people with Apple but they complain a lot about them ? All talk it seems
No biggie for me either - no screen protector at all on my 13 pro max and still no scratches.
I think we can all agree though that overall, having better scratch resistance is beneficial to everyone despite our diversity in use cases and experience.
It's just like sports, you follow your team even when they've been miserable for years. 🤣
Let me guess,..there were negotiations with Corning at the time of this so called Apple innovation? 🙄🤦♂️
For years, Apple has under-delivered on these camera-phones. Year-after-year, we hear “just wait until next year” while each camera-phone is a mirror image of its predecessor. However, I do enjoy predicting which new Samsung feature Apple will appropriate. Until then, I wait in anticipation for the next “drop” of emojis!
I personally prefer to use a tempered glass screen protector. not sure if it would stick well with a nano-texture glass. I would like anti-glare though.
You act like your world is ending. Relax lol. Go to the gym
A lot of displays from a certain era had glare-reducing polarizing filters. My old (non-retina) Apple Thunderbolt Display certainly does. You can tell by wearing polarized glasses - the display will appear completely black from certain angles!
My modern MacBooks and OLED iPhones have no such polarization.
yup, was just about to write the same thing ... weird world we are living in, isn't it?
MR staff: you can do better than this!
That's right, folks, coatings are OLD NEWS! It's time to get stoked for the ALL NEW Ceramic Shield 2.0. This is best, strongest Ceramic Shield that Apple has ever released. And Apple didn't stop there. For the first time ever, Ceramic Shield now has best-in-class anti-reflection BUILT IN! Customers will love to use their phones outdoors, seeing the crystal clear display in a way they never have before. Apple can't wait to see the incredible things customers do with the ALL NEW Ceramic Shield 2.0. Apple thinks you're gonna love it!
You can get a pair of anti-glare, scratch-resistant screen protectors for roughly $15. If it ads much more than that to the cost of the phone, I think it's hard to justify.
It's still a rumour. So why not? It's rumoured they started something, it's rumoured they cancelled that thing.
We're not on Macnews.com, right?
It's not like we're on the bleeding edge of journalism.
Technically Corning figured it out, they’re the ones who manufacture the glass. Samsung just bought it from them, they didn’t have a hand in making it.
Apple insists on having its hand in everything. Ceramic Shield was co-developed between Apple and Corning and they likely want the same level of input and control over the final product instead of just using off the shelf Gorilla Glass Armor or Victus 2 glass.
Because they have too much free time and are bored. *(sarcasm)
For some people the world is ending because Apple is delaying some features for the upcoming iPhones. *(sarcasm)
We live in a world where every rumor must be posted on MacRumors. I hope Apple leaks false informations so they can catch the leakers. I wish I could say more but I am afraid I can't go off-topic.
