iPhone 17, which will be released in 2025, will have a scratch-resistant screen with anti-glare coating. In this respect reports iXBT portal with link to Insider Instant Digital.
The new iPhone 17 glass screen will have an ultra-durable, anti-reflective coating that is much more scratch-resistant than existing materials. According to the source, equipment for the production of the new coating has already been integrated into the supply chain in China, but it will not be used in the iPhone 16 series, which will be shown in autumn 2024.
Ceramic Shield, developed by Corning in partnership with Apple and used in the company’s current smartphones, is the glass-ceramic material that Apple calls the most durable glass for smartphones.
In early 2024, Samsung introduced the Galaxy S24 Ultra flagship smartphone with Corning Gorilla Glass Armor with anti-reflective coating that reduces glare by 75% and increases resistance to micro-scratches. Corning also claims that its panels are four times more scratch-resistant than competitors’ glass.
