The upcoming iPhone 17 Pro might not feature the highly anticipated scratch-resistant display coating. Reports indicate that this new coating, designed to provide enhanced protection, is not making the cut. Apple had planned to introduce a technology similar to Samsung’s Gorilla Glass Armor, which promised better durability than the existing oleophobic layer used since the iPhone 11.
However, the production process for this advanced coating proved to be too complex and time-consuming for mass manufacturing. As a result, Apple will likely stick with the current oleophobic finish for the iPhone 17 Pro model. This decision leaves many tech enthusiasts eagerly awaiting further updates on possible alternatives or enhancements that may come in future models.
