Tempered glass for iPhone 17 Pro

iPhone 17 Pro screen protector — display specifications

The iPhone 17 Pro has a 6.3-inch OLED display with a resolution of 2622 × 1206 pixels, ProMotion refresh rates up to 120 Hz, an Always-On mode and the Dynamic Island. The front is covered by Ceramic Shield 2 — according to Apple, with a coating three times more scratch-resistant than in the previous generation. That doesn't mean the glass can't be scratched: sand and keys in your pocket leave marks, and a drop onto an edge can shatter even reinforced glass. Replacing a screen protector costs a fraction of replacing the display.

Which iPhone 17 Pro tempered glass should you choose?

Clear

It doesn't change the colours or brightness of the image and keeps touch smooth. The classic choice for everyday use.

Anti-reflective (AR)

An extra coating reduces light reflections, which helps when reading in sunlight and with Always-On enabled. Glass like this with an installation frame is offered by Benks, among others.

Privacy and matte

Privacy glass darkens the image when viewed from the side — handy on public transport. Matte glass reduces fingerprints but slightly lowers image sharpness.

What to look out for in iPhone 17 Pro glass

• Frame or applicator — a template placed on the phone aligns the glass with the edges and the speaker cut-out, so installing it at home is easy.
• Full-surface adhesive — glass bonded across its whole surface transmits touch better and doesn't create "rainbow" patches at the edges.
• Case compatibility — glass slightly smaller than the screen won't be lifted by the lip of the case. Choose it together with iPhone 17 Pro cases.
• Face ID sensors — the glass shouldn't have smudges or bubbles over the Dynamic Island, as they make face unlock harder.
• 9H rating — it refers to the pencil hardness scale and indicates scratch resistance, not drop resistance.

Tempered glass or other iPhone 17 Pro screen protection?

Tempered glass is rigid and disperses point impacts best. If you prefer a thinner, flexible layer, check out iPhone 17 Pro hybrid glass or screen protector film. Screen protection doesn't cover the lenses — for those there's a separate camera lens protector.

Frequently asked questions

Does iPhone 17 Pro glass fit other models?

Some manufacturers describe their glass as compatible with several iPhones with a 6.3-inch display. Follow the compatibility list on the packaging — what counts is the size of the glass and the position of the Dynamic Island, not just the diagonal. For the larger model, choose iPhone 17 Pro Max tempered glass.

Does tempered glass affect Always-On and ProMotion?

No. Glass doesn't change how the display works, and when applied properly it doesn't affect touch sensitivity or smooth 120 Hz scrolling.
