“Apple made a bold move roughly two years ago to begin transitioning its entire Mac product line away from matte displays and towards glass-enclosed glossy ones, but the company may be nearing a concession that these shiny, highly-reflective screens may not be for everyone,” Kasper Jade reports for AppleInsider.
“The Cupertino-based company is currently mulling the possibility of extending antiglare display options to more of its Macs — a feature now only available on the 17-inch MacBook Pro — according to people who have proven familiar with the company’s plans. Though speculative at this time, it would appear that the 13- and 15-inch MacBook Pros would be the most likely candidates to receive antiglare options,” Jade reports.
“In the meantime, customers adverse to the glossy displays are left with only a couple of options. They can plunk down the extra change for a 17-inch MacBook Pro with the antiglare option, or send their glossy MacBook Pro to solutions provides like TechRestore, which offers a third-party matte screen replacement program for $200,” Jade reports.
