Nintendo warns users not to peel off the protective film on the Switch 2 screen, as it is designed to prevent glass fragments from scattering if damaged, a caution similar to that issued during the Switch OLED launch, ahead of the device's release on June 5.
Nintendo's Switch 2 features a pre-applied film on its LCD screen designed to prevent fragment scattering if damaged, and users are advised not to peel it off. The company also offers screen protectors for additional protection.
The Nintendo Switch 2 will come with a pre-attached protective film on its screen, similar to the Switch OLED, which should not be removed as it prevents fragments from scattering in case of damage. Users can still apply a glass screen protector if desired.
The Galaxy S24 Ultra features Gorilla Glass Armor protection for its screen, significantly reducing reflections and glare compared to its predecessor and competitors. The anti-reflective properties of the glass panel improve the user experience, making it ideal for environments with a lot of light. Samsung claims the panel cuts back on up to 75% reflection and is resistant to micro scratches, offering a brighter screen with true-to-life colors and minimal reflections. The new flagship phone also boasts a 6.8-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2x screen panel with QHD+ resolution, HDR10+, and up to 2,600 nits peak brightness.
A new patent application by Apple suggests that a foldable iPhone could close itself to protect the screen if dropped. The device would include a fall detector or accelerometer that would trigger a release mechanism to automatically retract the foldable display. However, the device may not have time to close completely if it is too close to a surface or the ground. While Apple has not confirmed any plans to start producing a foldable iPhone, various patent applications show what a device could look like.
Apple has filed a patent application for a self-retracting display device that can protect the screen of its foldable iPhone from falls. The device will have an accelerometer that will signal an electronically adjustable latching mechanism to quickly snap the phone shut if it detects the iPhone is falling. The foldable iPhone may consist of two separate screens that connect to each other when the device is unfolded instead of having a normal hinge in the middle. The latest leaks point to a 2025 release.
