This was my one saving grace. I absolutely despise the etched glass screen, especially for an OLED display. The Apple XDR display, and the surface of my Cintiq and the Paperlike I use on the iPad Pro, taught me to hate the font-blurring, contrast-reducing, color-diluting laminated etched glass. I love the look of the LE, and it was a near perfect combination of materials and colors — and the lined case is pretty fantastic too — but I was immediately uninterested in reducing some of the major benefits of OLED to reduce reflections in the few cases where I might appreciate the feature.
So while I may feel a little burned they didn’t offer the option between the display types, and will miss the colorway, I do not regret not dealing with the stress of trying to order one of these today.
