Apple has implemented a cutting-edge Ceramic Shield 2 glass material in its iPhone 17 models, complemented by an anti-reflective (AR) coating. This innovative combination is designed to markedly diminish screen reflections in brightly lit settings—a first-of-its-kind application within the iPhone lineup. Independent testing conducted by accessory maker Astropad reveals that, when compared to the iPhone 16, the iPhone 17's screen reflectivity has been slashed by roughly 50%, thanks to this AR coating.
