I bought the new M4 standard display on day 1. I had been back and forth on which display to get, but the lack of availability of the Nano Texture display made it kind of an easy decision. I upgraded from an M1 primarily for the OLED, and it was worth it. The color stands out, and it really is great to look at how much more vivid the colors in every aspect.
I’ve never been a fan of matte screen protectors because of the sharpness you lose. I have found they always added a graininess. I had looked at the Nanotexture in store and found that effect to be minimal. I was having battery issues with my iPad, after going back and forth with support, and ultimately an appointment at the Apple Store, they offered to exchange the iPad, and allowed me to upgrade to the Nano paying the difference.
The main differences that had me decide on the Nano was of course glare, the feel of the screen, less fingerprints, and I really like how it looks reading books.
On the glare, I use the iPad a lot outside. I did find myself having to position myself, or position the iPad to remove glare. This shows an immediate, obvious improvement.
On the feel of the screen, there is a less feeling of swiping on glass, you don’t feel the texture as much with the fingers as you feel the difference with the pencil. Hard to describe it, but this display adds some element that was missing with drawing and writing on standard glass with the pencil with just enough texture to FEEL like you are drawing and writing on it. If you own a kindle, that screen feel would be similar to this, and if you own a Kindle, you likely also notice you don’t see a lot of fingerprints on those displays….that is how this Nano seems to work.
And that also brings me to the reading. This display is a little easier on the eyes when reading. I don’t read ebooks in dark mode. The nano texture diffuses the light for a better reading experience which is where I do tend to see the most glare in most environments.
Definitely worth the upgrade. Side by side between the 2 iPads in store is going to be a different experience then using it in your own lighting environments outside, normal indoor room lighting, and in the dark. Definitely glad this worked out the way it did.
