According to a recent leak from Weibo user “Instant Digital,” Apple’s upcoming iPad Pro models are set to introduce a matte display option for the first time. This new feature will provide users with an alternative to the standard glossy glass finish, with potential benefits such as reduced glare and blue-light blocking technology to protect the eyes.
While it remains uncertain whether the matte display will include the advanced “nano-texture” glass found on the Pro Display XDR, this technology scatters light to minimize glare and is particularly useful in bright environments. Additionally, the rise in popularity of matte screen protectors has likely influenced Apple’s decision to offer this option for those who prefer it.
Although there is speculation that the matte display may also be available on the next-generation iPad Air models, this has not been confirmed by Apple. Instant Digital, the source of this leak, has a mixed track record for accuracy but has previously reported features such as the Yellow spring refresh for the iPhone 14 and spatial video capture on the iPhone 15 Pro.
It is essential to note that nano-texture glass, if integrated into the new iPad Pro models, may pose cleaning challenges due to its textured surface that grips oil and debris more tightly. As for the rumored anti-reflective display technology for the iPhone 17, it remains unclear whether this is related to the matte display option for the iPad Pro.
Apple enthusiasts should keep an eye out for further updates on these developments as the tech giant continues to innovate and expand its product offerings. Stay tuned for more information on “Poh Diaries.”
