they haven't done that... almost a decade?
Sorry, BTO is Build To Order.
I think only Glass option. I prefer matte so I'm looking at my work projects and not my reflection. Apple have this option for their Pro Display XDR, which they call nano-texture glass...

Which ones, got a link?
Found the Belkin & Kensington ones - AUD $110 yipes. Do they work and dull the screen colors?
Kensington and Belkin and they have notches 😛 Although these are for the older models, so you might have to wait until they update for the new releases.
The Kensington one is great, I use it on my MBP 13 2020 and the it dulls the glossy, but not the brightness. It's magnetic, so you can take if off very easily.

I also wish they offered this. We have the Nano Glass on one of our iMac's and its awesome.
Yeah, hasn't been available as an option for MBPs since the unibody series, pre-retina. It's best just to get a matte screen protector if you really want matte.
I use one with my M1 MBP and it works fine. It wasn't very expensive in the $10-$20 range. I also don't need to worry about getting any keyboard marks on the original coating that is on the screen. Great!

The nano textured glass is an extra £1,000(!) as an option - whatever you think of that as a premium, to spend it on a laptop screen that is more vulnerable to breakage and is likely to be replaced much sooner feels like an option very few people would spring for...
I miss the matte screens. My first 15" MBP had that option and it was really really nice. The nano glass sounds awesome but also super high maintenance if I recall correctly.
Ok, might wait for the new versions. Not cheap though!
I need for my GLASSY iMac too
do you have a link to the matte screen protector you have?
If I recall, those screens had to be cleaned using a special solution and cloth otherwise Apple would void your warranty.
Nah, only 2 years ago. -- the Pro Display XDR, which they call nano-texture glass...
I think he means for the MBP specifically....yes, it's been over a decade since that was offered.
Got a link?
Special solution?? Special cloth - the one that's on sale for like USD $19 smackers?
