During the week of September 8, 2025, Apple should announce a new generation of smartphones: the iPhone 17. In the meantime, their technical sheet is becoming clearer over the rumors. Good news has also fallen about Pro and Pro Max models: the arrival of a screen with anti-reflective glass … but not only!
An anti-reflection glass to improve the screen of the iPhone 17 pro and 17 pro max
One March 2025, Instant Digital evoked the introduction of an anti-reflective glass on the iPhone 17 screen-good news when you know that Apple is pale in the face of competition, and especially in front of the Samsung Galaxy S25. As a bonus, the slab would be more resistant to scratches than previous generations.
The beautiful promises of this rumor had however been dismissed at the end of April by Macrumorsmore specifically because of too large production problems. The arrival of this major evolution of the display had to be postponed to a subsequent generation, the time that an adequate solution was found.
Drum bearing … Everything would have been settled in time for this year. According to a new source of the media, “Apple suppliers would now be able to produce sufficient anti-reflective glass for a large-scale launch”. Small reversal of the situation, only the iPhone 17 pro and 17 pro max would finally be entitled to this novelty.
A logical evolution, which would allow Apple to continue to differentiate its pro and non-pro ranges well. Moreover, this would stick well with the fact that the cooling rate of 120 Hz, so far reserved for the pro models, should be extended in 2025 to the iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Air (although promotion is not on the program).
By giving an additional advantage to the iPhone 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max, the apple firm thus ensures that it maintains a more advanced experience on these models.
