In the market for an iPhone? Here's a breakdown of all the currently shipping iPhones from Apple.
Apple to Utilize Anti-Reflective Glass in Next-Generation iMac?
In a roundup of touch panel supplier news, Digitimes reports that G-Tech Optoelectronics is not only ramping up production of cover glass for the new iPad but is also working with Apple on anti-reflective glass for the next-generation iMac. The iMac is due for an update in the near future as Intel's Ivy Bridge processors become available later this month.G-Tech is ramping up its production capacity of cover glass from 1.8 million units a month currently to three million units in 2012 as the company is likely to take up 25-30% of total cover glass orders for Apple's iPads in the year, according to an industry estimate.Apple's iMac has utilized a glass front for a number of years, leading to some user complaints due to the reflectivity interfering with usability in bright environments. An anti-reflective glass would likely help alleviate some of these complaints.
G-Tech is also expected to supply AR (anti-reflective) glass solutions for Apple's all-in-one (AIO) PCs with the new products to also serve as a growth driver for G-Tech, indicated industry sources.
Apple utilizes a similar glossy display glass standard on the MacBook Pro, but offers a build-to-order option of an antiglare matte display on 15-inch and 17-inch models.

This sure would stop a lot of pissing and moaning from people hating the Glossy screen. It also will probably sell more for those who refused to buy them with the current screens
Why is it pissing and moaning to not want a computer monitor that isn't a mirror?
Why do you want to stop customers from requesting the choice of having a non-reflective monitor?
Can all the Sandyginas please refrain from regurgitating "complaining, whining, pissing, haters''
about everybody who wants something different than they do or that Apple doesn't offer? :rolleyes:
Thank you.

If this is true, then thank you! Non-glossy reflective screens are long overdue. Let's hope it will also be available on the Thunderbolt Display.

This story makes me happy. Hopefully, this marks a transition away from glossy screens across the line.

It's about time.. They're really missing out on a large audience by not providing anti-glare screens on their iMacs.
I love the glossy, and it looks great, but it's really not the best for photo/video/graphic editing.
I bought an older 30" ACD because of that. Just seems like it's an over-due feature to add. They have it on their laptops, why not their desktops.

The only reason I don't like anti glare screens is because they're plastic, and more difficult to clean. If they find a way to do anti glare with glass, I would love that. Glass is a higher quality material and gives the product a better look and feel, in my opinion.

Apple's always right, till they realize they were wrong and make the changes they never deemed necessary.
