He iPhone 17 Pro He promised to become the model with the best screen in Apple's history. However, a few months after its official presentation, a very reliable filtration has revealed that the company has canceled one of the most anticipated novelties and has to do directly with its screen. We tell you everything you need to know in this article.
This rumor points directly against the New anti -reflective coating Super resistant who was going to revolutionize the outdoor visual experience for the iPhone 17 Pro. The reason is none other than a technical problem in large -scale manufacturing. And the worst part is that this could assume that the competition again takes advantage in this important section.
The iPhone 17 pro will not be so novel
Apple had been working on a screen technology for some time that not only reduced the reflexes, but also offered a resistance to the scratch superior to that of the current Ceramic Shield. This advance was filtered for the first time last year in the Chinese social network Weibo, by the hand of the well -known instant digital filter. Since then, we had not had news of this possible change so far. A source close to Apple has confirmed Macrumors that the company has decided Cancel the implementation of this coating on the iPhone 17 Pro and 17 pro max.
According to this information, the process of application of the anti -reflective coating is too slow to climb it to the mass production required by a global Apple launch. Although in principle it was intended only to the pro models, the complexity and slow procedure They have made him a ballast that, at least for now, Apple has decided not to assume.
Currently, all iPhone have an oleophobic layer that repels traces and dirt, but in relation to the treatment of reflexes, Apple has always gone one step behind. While in the iPad Pro or the Mac with nano-texturized screen yes, advanced solutions have been implemented to reduce reflexes, on the iPhone that improvement has never arrived. This attempt to carry an advanced anti -reflective layer to the iPhone 17 Pro was going to be a qualitative leap, especially outdoors, but everything indicates that the project has been filed, at least until new notice.
Samsung advances Apple
The problem for Apple is not just the disappointment of those who expected this novelty. It is also that competition has not been left with crossed ones. Samsung, for example, has introduced the Gorilla Glass Armor In its Ultra Galaxy S24, a crystal with anti -reflective properties that reduces reflexes by up to 75 %. In practice, this translates into greater visibility under direct sunlight, more vivid colors and a better experience when using the device in any environment, even if the light is projected on the terminal.
In social networks, comparative images have already been shared between the Galaxy S24 Ultra and the iPhone 15 where the difference is evident: the Samsung screen reflects much less light and maintains the contrast even in demanding conditions. Apple, who has always presumed the quality of his screens, could be left behind at a point that begins to be key to the most demanding users.
It is not ruled out that Apple is exploring other alternatives, such as the implementation of a simplified version of the coating or even an adaptation of its nano-textured technology for future generations of the iPhone. But, for now, everything indicates that the iPhone 17 will arrive without this expected improvement.
