iPad What is iPad laminate, and why care?

[JM]

Well, sorry for the dumb question, but I don’t know what laminate is and why I should care the iPad doesn’t have it.

Can you please tell me what laminate is?

Thank you

It essentially helps register taps better, reduces reflection, and makes the device thinner.

When you touch every iPad or iPhone display, you are not touching the LCD itself, you are touching what is known as the cover glass. There is a manufacturing step to bond the LCD to the cover glass. Apple can skip this step and leave a small air gap which reduces complexity and cost.

Laminated display will also be somewhat thinner and lighter, and if you use a pencil or stylus to draw on it, if it's not laminated and the display is at an angle, there will be an angle between where the pencil is and where the pixel is displayed on screen.

I am assuming that my 3rd generation iPad Pro is laminated.
