Samsung is one of the leading brands in the smartphone industry, and now it seems to inspire its strongest rival, Apple, to adopt the Galaxy S24 Ultra’s display feature for the iPhone 17 Pro models.
Last year, Samsung debuted its flagship Galaxy S24 series, and the Ultra variant of the lineup, the S24 Ultra, features Corning’s Gorilla Glass Armor display protection. Notably, the Gorilla Armor drastically reduces screen glare. This year’s Galaxy S25 Ultra display also features the same properties as its predecessor.
Now, Apple is also looking forward to adopting anti-reflective glass for its next-generation iPhones. A new report from MacRumors claims that Apple’s upcoming iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max will feature a display with an anti-reflective glass on top. It will be significant for reducing glare and reflections, resulting in making the screen quite legible under direct sunlight or around bright sources of light.
Reportedly, initially Apple had yield issues and expected that it may have canceled it for the iPhone 17 lineup, but now the new report suggests that its supplier has now improved production to the point where it can be used.
The exact final result has yet to come, but it’s anticipated that Apple’s anti-reflective tech is as good as the Gorilla Armor and Gorilla Armor 2 coatings seen on Samsung’s last two Ultra phones.
