One of the most interesting improvements of the recently introduced iPads Pro is undoubtedly their nanotexture on the display. The new nanotexture display glass is suitable for demanding workflows with color management or working in more complex lighting conditions. The glass with nanotexture precisely etched on a nanometric scale preserves image quality and contrast while diffusing light from the environment to reduce glare on the display surface. Perhaps that is why it is not too surprising that it is only available in the 1TB and 2TB configurations, which are the most “pro” ones. However, there is one major catch that more and more Apple fans are starting to point out. On an external display for a Mac, nanotexture has a completely different meaning than on a touch display.

Recently, critical posts have started to appear on discussion forums, pointing out that nanotextured glass is very poorly scratch-resistant compared to classic glass. This was subsequently confirmed by durability tests by the famous YouTuber JerryRigEverything, which showed that while iPads Pro With normal glass, objects with a hardness of level 6 can be scratched irreversibly, while displays with nanotexture can be lightly scratched with objects with a hardness of level 3, while irreparable damage can be done with objects with a hardness of level 4. Displays with nanotexture are therefore much more susceptible to scratches than displays with classic glass. Just to give you an idea, while displays without nanotexture cannot be scratched with a razor blade or a screw, the situation is exactly the opposite with displays with nanotexture. So this is definitely not a positive thing.
You write inaccuracies in the article - a display with nanotexture really does not retain the same contrast and colors as a glossy display - just look at it - with nanotexture, black is at the level of a cheap LCD.
Then complain to Applu, it's a quote from his website.
Classic apple advertising full of superlatives, but the deed is gone.
So it's worth the extra cost :) Don't tell me that none of Applu doesn't see the difference in black and hardness, or that it doesn't have any other major advantages.
I ordered glossy glass and I'm solving it with Paperlike foil. I would scrape off the nanotexture, and then what? You can't beat that ;)
