The author used atomic force microscopy (AFM) to scan AR coatings on Apple products and a third-party AR screen protector: regular matte glass shows fine granular texture, iPhone Duo's honeycomb nano-etch has the largest height swing (±400nm), while iPad nano-texture glass is shallower and more uniform (±160nm). Part of an in-depth iPhone Duo review.
