iPhone 17 Pro will get an exclusive screen

Apple will install anti-glare screens with increased scratch resistance in the flagship iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max models. The decision is related to Apple's desire to distinguish these models from the base iPhone versions, reports 9to5Mac.

According to rumors, all iPhone 17 models, including the base one, will get smooth screens with a 120 Hz refresh rate. Analysts also predict increased interest in the ultra-thin iPhone 17 Air, so Apple decided to equip the flagship models with an exclusive display.

According to insiders, the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max will be equipped with a display featuring an exclusive coating that offers increased scratch resistance and anti-glare properties. Similar "nano-textured" coating is already used in some iPad Pro, iMac, and MacBook Pro models.

This solution is expected to not only distinguish the Pro models from the thin and visually attractive iPhone 17 Air but also improve image clarity in bright light and increase screen durability. This could become an important selling point for customers who choose the Pro version.
