The Samsung S24 Ultra was released with a new Corning's new "Gorilla Armor" display that offers improved scratch resistance and anti-glare features. It makes the screen look dark when it's off and reduces reflections by a mile. Now Apple is ready to copy this feature but it may take some time to do so. As reported by a 9to5Mac, a Weibo account has published details that Apple plans to invest billions of dollars in a new coating technology for iPhone 17 screens. Image courtesy: Samsung
iPhone 17 to COPY this COOL Galaxy S24 Ultra FEATURE 🔥🔥
The new technology would offer "super tough" and "anti-reflective" features on the iPhone 17, which is slated for release in 2025. After preparing the technology, Apple recently handed it over to its supply chain partners in China, indicating that we may not see it in the upcoming iPhone 16 series.
"Apple spent billions on coating equipment in Japan, which has been handed over to China's supply chain, but the iPhone 16 series cannot keep up. The outer glass of the iPhone 17 series will be made into a super hard [anti-reflective] layer. It can be said that the iPhone The 17 series will be more scratch resistant than you think.” – Instant Digital on Weibo
As of now, Apple uses Ceramic Shield coating, which it developed in collaboration with Corning, on its iPhone 12 series and up. The new anti-glare and scratch-resistant coating may also be the result of Apple's partnership with Corning, but it may come with a different name since Apple is known to be fond of introducing a new brand for everything under the sky.
