iPhone 17 Pro to Feature Anti-Reflective, Scratch-Resistant Display—Report

Apple’s iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max could come with a serious display upgrade. According to a new report from MacRumors, Apple is preparing to launch a more durable, anti-reflective screen coating—a feature long rumored but previously delayed due to production issues.

What’s Changing?

• New Glass Layer: Stronger than the current Ceramic Shield

• Anti-Reflective Coating: Helps reduce screen glare, improving visibility outdoors

• Scratch Resistance: Boosted durability in daily use

• Exclusive to Pro Models: Will not appear on the standard iPhone 17 or iPhone 17 Air

The new coating is said to be similar to Gorilla Glass Armor, recently featured on Samsung’s Galaxy S25 Edge—marking the first time Apple brings anti-reflective tech to the iPhone, after years of using it in Macs and iPads.

Rumored iPhone 17 Colors

In addition to display upgrades, Apple may offer new finishes across the lineup:

iPhone 17 Pro / Pro Max

• Sky Blue

• Copper or Orange (in line with the rumored aluminum frame)

iPhone 17

• Black

• White

• Steel Gray

• Green

• Purple

• Light Blue

iPhone 17 Air (rumored replacement for the Plus)

• Black

• White

• Light Gold

• Light Blue

When’s the Launch?

Apple is expected to unveil the iPhone 17 lineup in Fall 2025—and with features like a scratch-resistant, glare-fighting screen and bold new colors, the Pro models may feel like a substantial leap forward in both style and function.
