Hi Folks!

Hope you are staying safe and sound!

I have a MacBook Pro early 2015 13.3" Retina model. Due to a display hardware issue, I replaced the display from apple where they replaced the top portion of the MacBook which has the display. (OFCOURSE THEY CHARGED A BOMB).

In my old display, I have seen some anti reflective coating issue in the edges and in the centre of the display. I referred different articles where they say that the issue is mostly common on the retina displays which age for 3-4 years due to sweat and other external liquids.

Cautiously, I installed the screen guard for my new display, In order to prevent the display.

My doubt here is, does the issue of anti reflective coating tear would be minimised because of this screen guard. Or is this issue is actually unavoidable? something that comes from the display interior?

Your valuable suggestions would be highly helpful.

You want to research what "StainGate" is.

I don't think any "screen protector" should be used with a retina display.
It may actually make the screen wear worse...
