The screen upgrade of iPhone 17 can actually be used in daily life without the need for tempered glass film. The iPhone 17 is equipped with a 7-layer AR anti reflective coating that can reduce the screen reflectivity to 0.8%, allowing users to watch videos in strong outdoor light without squinting. This kind of transparency is the core experience that Apple has invested heavily in research and development. After applying the film, the light transmittance of ordinary tempered film is less than 90%, which will directly render the anti reflection effect ineffective, equivalent to wasting hardware upgrades.
For people who have children at home or frequently drop their phones, film sticking is a “cost-effective insurance”. But ordinary tempered film should never be chosen. AR special film with a light transmittance of ≥ 95% should be identified. Its multi-layer anti reflective coating can continue the original screen experience, and the reflectivity can be as low as 1.2%, close to the naked screen effect.
For users who plan to use the film for more than 2 years, it can delay screen aging. However, it should be noted that AR film requires a bonding accuracy of micrometer level, and rainbow patterns will appear if offset by 0.1mm. It is best to go to the store and use an AI film sticking machine to operate, with a success rate of 98%.
