anyone notice that their iphone 11 pro/max screen coating feels less slippery/slick than the iphone X and XS?

like it’s a lot tougher to glide your finger around on the phone, more friction, and i notice way more fingerprints.

has anyone else noticed this? i tried it out on the iphone 11 pros in store and a lot of them have the same issue yet some are way more slick and the screen coating is way easier to move your finger on compared to mine.
 
Either it's slick and hard to hold, or it's grippier but has more drag. It seems hard to find a balance.

some of the screens are very slick, some have drag. the ones with drag get fingerprints on them so much easier... my iphone XS and X had a slick screen so this is very irritating. i'm going to have to return the phone and see if i can get one that has a slick screen.
 
Yes a little stickier. Screen protector feels better actually. Planned on a protector anyways so no big deal to me.
 
I seem to like the added drag.
so you do notice more drag?

so i'm not crazy and you do notice it's stickier? i hate it, makes the screen feel like it's dirty with fingerprints.

It’s slightly tackier. Or I’m used to my worn out phone that I notice the new screen more.
