Report warns MacBook screen protectors can damage anti-reflective coating
A tech advisory highlights risks of using adhesive screen protectors on MacBooks, noting they can degrade display clarity and, more seriously, damage the anti-reflective coating when peeled off. Thicker protectors may also prevent the laptop from closing properly, risking further screen damage from the hinge mechanism. The report points to magnetic alternatives, such as Kensington's UltraThin Magnetic Privacy Screen Filter sold on Apple's site, as safer options.
