Brian MacDuff(@itstheBMAC):So, apparently your screen protector might be WORSE for your iPhone 17... Apple’s "Ceramic Shield 2" adds a built-in anti-reflective coating, cutting reflections by about half vs iPhone 16... 🪩 But a standard screen protector BLOCKS the anti-reflective layer’s contact with air, doubling glare and reducing outdoor clarity, according to @Astropad. 🤔 Anti-reflective-coated protectors like Astropad’s "Fresh Coat" avoid this by replacing the native anti-reflective layer and can drop reflectivity to 1% for sharper outdoor visibility. 📱 I may have to give these Astropad screen protectors a try. 👀
