Anti-Reflective (AR) Coating --> Bad Retina Display

I clean the screen normally with a microfiber cloth but due to the oils on my fingertips ( & etc) the AR Coating as whisked away and with it the class + quality of the display under various lightings.

The retina display is one of the main selling points of this laptop so I am curious: what can I do about this considering my device is out of warranty?

Anti-reflective coating coming off of my Mac screen The AR coating is coming off of my mac screen and ruining it. I use my laptop EVERYDAY anI've taken great care of it, yet there's nothing I can do to stop this from happening and there's nothing Apple can do about it??? This is NOT right. There was no warning about this happening to the screen when I bought my laptop but I still have to either deal with it or pay a boat load of money to get the screen fixed.... That's not right. I need some answers.

Anti reflective coating Hello, I have a MacBook Pro (early 2015) and the anti-glare coating has deteriorated rapidly in recent months. Are Apple still offering a fix for this for my model? Thank you.

Anyone else had this brush -off My MacBook Pro screen is losing its anti-glare coating; Local UK apple repair company says my laptop at 5 and a half years old is "Vintage" and spare screens are not available. Anyone else had this brush -off? This is a well known inherent defect on the Pro retina screen and Apple should I think keep spares longer than 5 years.

Make an appointment at the Genius Bar at an Apple-owned store for an evaluation.

All decisions about possible remediation are made ONLY after an in-person inspection by a trained technician.
