Absolutely not! I watched a lot of Jerryrigeverything on YouTube. He starts off with reviewing Phone displays, the latest iPhones seem to show small scratches on a Mohs hardness scale of six with deeper grooves at level seven. I watched him do a Mohs hardness scale test of an iPad with the nano-textured display, and it started scratching much easier than Mohs scale of hardness level six.

Pay particular attention to the information around timestamp 1:45.

No. Nanotexture reduces overall contrast, color reproduction, sharpness and gradient transitions. Even if they offered me a free one, I'd refuse. No, I'll take it and resell it immediately ))))Money will not hurt )))))
This.

I’m not interested in any matte screen. I have those up in 2005, those crappy old monitors with the matte screens. Nooooo thank you.
 
While I do respect its "niche" for certain scenarios and I can understand how some would prefer it, it is not for me. I prefer text clarity, sharpness and color (and easily clean my display) the most these days, which is pretty much the downside of nano/matte displays. Next year is the year where I want to move all my displays to "Apple's PPI" 5K.
