Apple expanded its Nano-texture Glass to a touch-based device for the first time. The latest iPad Pro comes with Apple’s anti-reflective display technology, hinting at a potential debut with the iPhone 17 Pro Max this year.
Samsung partnered with Corning to debut an anti-reflective display with Galaxy S24 Ultra. The advanced display glass technology makes the S24 Ultra stand apart from its rivals, thanks to its anti-glare screen, which is durable too.
Previously, Apple used the nano-texture glass on the Pro Display XDR, iMac, and Studio Display. Debut with the latest iPad Pro makes us speculate that it could be expanded further to iPhone models this year.
The company developed it for users who work in high-end, color-managed workflows, or challenging lighting conditions. It maintains image quality and contrast alongside scattering ambient light for reduced glare.
MacRumors report that Apple consumers willing to purchase iPad Pro with an anti-reflective screen can get it with 1TB and 2TB models for an additional cost of $100, bringing the 11″ model’s price to $1,699 or $2,099.
