iPhone 17 Pro Models May Feature Stronger, Smarter Displays With New Coating

Apple’s next iPhone lineup is already stirring excitement, even before the official announcement. According to fresh leaks, the iPhone 17 Pro series might introduce a new type of display coating that could take durability and clarity to the next level. If true, this could mark one of the most notable upgrades in this year’s flagship models.

Apple May Introduce Advanced Anti-Reflective Glass

A recent report indicates that the suppliers to Apple have already begun production capacity in large quantities of a new anti-reflective glass coating. It is likely that this improved layer will find its way into the iPhone 17 Pro and the iPhone 17 Pro Max. In contrast to the screens used today, which consist of Ceramic Shield and oleophobic coating that protects against fingerprints, the new glass should contribute to less glare and greater resistance to scratches.

The new display coating could not only improve how the screen looks in bright lighting but also offer stronger protection against everyday wear and tear.

Standard iPhone 17 Models Might Stick to Existing Glass

Although it is possible that the display might be upgraded to the Pro versions, the lower cost iPhone 17 and the iPhone 17 Air might not get the same upgrade. According to reports, these models could carry on with the Ceramic Shield as observed in the present iPhones.

Anti-reflective coatings have appeared on the previous iPad and MacBook devices released by Apple, although their direct application to the iPhone would be new. It also puts Apple directly against other brands such as Samsung, which already use Gorilla Glass Armor with similar anti-reflectativo capabilities.

Rumored Specs and Launch Timeline

Leaks hint that Apple will officially unveil the iPhone 17 lineup between September 8 and September 12, following its traditional fall launch cycle. Besides an upgraded display, the Pro variants can also get 12GB RAM and run on the A19 Pro chipset whereas the regular models can be armed with 8GB RAM and run on the normal A19 SoC.

When it comes to what materials these phones are built out of, the iPhone 17 Air will perhaps be made of lightweight titanium, whereas the rest of the range, such as base, Pro and Pro Max will employ aluminum.
