- Apple has reportedly canceled a scratch-resistant anti-reflective display coating for the iPhone 17 Pro range.
- It’s believed Apple ran into issues scaling the production process for this coating.
- Samsung’s last two Ultra phones both offer anti-glare screen coatings.
Apple is widely expected to launch the iPhone 17 series later this year, and there’s been no shortage of rumors to date. However, a new leak suggests that one of the Galaxy S24 Ultra and S25 Ultra‘s best features won’t come to the new iPhone after all.
MacRumors reports that Apple has canceled a scratch-resistant anti-reflective screen coating for the iPhone 17 Pro series, citing a “source with reliable information.” The outlet reports that Apple canceled this coating as it apparently ran into problems scaling the production process. This follows a Weibo tipster’s claim last year that the iPhone 17 series would have an anti-reflective coating.
