Only in 2025 will the iPhone have what the Samsung Galaxy S24 already has – a new, highly durable anti-reflective glass
Next year's iPhone 17 will feature an anti-glare display that is more scratch-resistant than the Apple Ceramic Shield found on iPhone 15 models.
Chinese insider Instant Digital said that the iPhone 17's protective glass will have an “ultra-hard anti-reflective layer” that is “more scratch-resistant than you think.” According to the source, the coating equipment has just been transferred to China's supply chain, but it will not be used for the iPhone 16 series.
Ceramic Shield is the marketing name for a glass-ceramic material developed by Corning in collaboration with Apple. Apple says the iPhone 15's ceramic screen is “stronger than any smartphone glass.” Apple touted glass with a ceramic coating that improves drop resistance by 4 times compared to the iPhone 11.
Samsung recently unveiled its latest Galaxy S24 Ultra, which comes with a Gorilla Glass Armor display, also developed by Corning. According to Corning, the Armor panel reduces glare by 75% compared to a regular glass surface and is resistant to micro-scratches that can occur over time on competing glass panels. Corning also claims the panels are more than 4 times more scratch resistant than competing aluminosilicate safety glass.
It is unclear whether Apple plans to use Gorilla Glass Armor for the iPhone 17.
Instant Digital accurately reported on the yellow iPhone 14, spatial video recording capabilities on the iPhone 15 Pro, and Apple Watch Series 9 features.

Honor Magic6 Pro beats Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra, Huawei Mate 60 Pro+, iPhone 15 Pro Max and everyone else. This is the world's best camera phone according to DxOMark
DxOMark specialists today published a review of the main camera of the Honor Magic6 Pro smartphone. Its capabilities were rated at 158 points, and this is a new record: in DxOMark tests, Honor Magic6 Pro surpassed Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra, Huawei Mate 60 Pro+, iPhone 15 Pro Max and almost all other top camera phones (the Xiaomi 14 Ultra test has not yet been published).
Traditionally, testers note the pros and cons. The former include bright and natural colors in both photos and videos, good detail at different zoom modes, fast and accurate autofocus, large depth of field in scenes with objects in several planes, wide dynamic range and accurate exposure. Cons: unnatural reproduction of details in photos, videos and when zooming, differences in frame sharpness when recording videos on the go, artifacts when shooting high-contrast scenes, blurred images in portraits in very low light.
“The Honor Magic6 Pro performed outstandingly in DxOMark's camera tests, taking first place in our rankings and ahead of devices such as the Huawei Mate 60 Pro, Oppo Find X7 Ultra and Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max. It performed excellently in almost all areas of testing, showing no real weaknesses. It's also a noticeable improvement over its predecessor, the Magic5 Pro.,” said DxOMark.
Let us remind you that Honor Magic6 Pro is a leader in both the main and front camera tests. Moreover, this model takes first place in the screen and battery ratings, and in terms of sound, Honor Magic6 Pro takes second place in the corresponding rating.

The capabilities of the top-end Zeiss camera in the Vivo X Fold 3 Pro smartphone were shown in spectacular examples
Photos taken with the camera of the company's future folding flagship Vivo X Fold 3 Pro were published by an informed insider under the nickname Ice Universe.
Previously, Vivo, when describing the new product, used the phrase “the lightest and thinnest king of folding smartphones.” It is known that the basic Vivo X Fold 3 will be built on a single-chip Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 system and will have an OLED Samsung E7 screen with a diagonal of 8.03 inches. It is expected that Vivo X Fold 3 will receive a Zeiss main camera with three sensors with a resolution of 50, 50 and 64 megapixels. A module with a 64-megapixel sensor will provide 3x optical zoom. How the Pro version will differ is still unknown.
Ice Universe was the first to accurately talk about the new trend for smartphones with waterfall screens, about the bangs in the iPhone X, about the new design of the iPhone 14 with the Dynamic Island cutout and about different 200-megapixel image sensors.
