Apple introduced a nano-texture glass option when it launched the Pro Display XDR at the end of 2019, and then added this screen option, for a hefty surcharge, to the 27in iMac in August. Now it appears that the company is looking into way to apply a similar treatment to more of its screens in order to minimise reflections.

Apple has applied for patent for "Antireflective Treatment for Textured Enclosure Components". The patent includes notebooks, tablets, smartphones, wearables and other electronics, suggesting that Apple may be planning to use nanotexture glass on other devices.
Apple Insider suggests that the patent is describing methods of etching onto the glass, which would reduce reflectivity by preventing light being shined back.
