The leak said that Apple suppliers have achieved a high enough production rate to mass produce this new pair of glasses. Thus, the pair of iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max will be the only two models with advanced anti-glare coating. The feature will not appear on the standard iPhone 17 or iPhone 17 Air.
Previously, in March, leaker Instant Digital revealed that Apple is developing super hard glass coating with better anti-glare and anti-scratch capabilities. However, in April, a technology news site said that Apple was having difficulty in manufacturing, making the ability to integrate this feature fragile.
Currently, with new information from an internal source, anti-glare coating is being "revived" but is still an exclusive feature for the Pro line.
The anti-glare and anti-scratch screens could be a big difference for the iPhone 17 Pro this year, especially as the iPhone 17 Air is expected to attract a lot of attention.
If realized, the anti-glare coating will not only help reduce glitter under bright light but also significantly improve the durability of the screen. This is an increasingly important factor for high-end users.
In the context of Apple continuously looking to enhance the Pro series experience, this new display technology could be a valuable plus, contributing to strengthening the "cut-out" position of the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max in the market this year.
However, because previous leaks are quite erratic, users should still be cautious and wait for an official announcement from Apple.
