I tried the iPad with Nano Texture and didn’t really like the rainbow effect that shows up on white brackgrounds. So I ended up returning it.

A while later I had an idea to mount an iPad to my fridge so that I could check the weather, add things to my shopping list, play music, etc. I bought the rather expensive iPad with Nano Texture screen and it has been amazing to use. There is a big window opposite the fridge, and without the nano texture the glare from behind makes it hard to read what’s on the screen.

Not sure I would enjoy nano texture on my MacBook. For outdoor use I found that Vivid is great to turn up the brightness using the extended range of HDR that Apple doesn’t otherwise allow me to use.

I would think Nano on an iPad would be a problem.

IPads are sort of the Platonic Ideal of the type of environment that he says is an issue. Fingerprints, chaotic environment, etc.

I definitely enjoy the nanotexture on my MacBook. I didn't know they had it on iPads now and I'm due for a new iPad. Hmmm....

What's annoying is that the bezel is still glossy. Bright reflections moving across it tend to be distracting.

		Apparently they leave it glossy so that it doesn't impact the camera quality. I remember reading this somewhere but can't confirm the source sorry.

		> the bezel is still glossy ... on the iPad. I have a nanotexture MacBook and double-checked. It's textured all the way across. But you're right, the bezel of the iPad is glossy (1). Why would they do that? Is it masked off or a separate piece of glass? (1) https://www.reddit.com/r/ipad/comments/1cwppel/m4_ipad_pro_s...
