What is AR?

Made with multi-layer thin-film interference, AR (Anti-Reflective) coating reduces reflected light on your screen, reducing glare and reflections. AR+ Sapphire keeps your screen clearer, brighter, and easier to view anywhere.

Why Does Reflection Occur?

Reflection happens when incoming light waves interact with the screen surface and bounce back instead of passing through. This high surface reflectivity and low light transmittance create glare, reducing screen clarity and visual comfort.

Introducing AR+ Technology

The X.One® AR+ Anti-Reflection technology effectively reduces surface reflections and glare while increasing light transmittance. Crystal-clear display with accurate color balance and superior visibility in any lighting environment.

97% Light Transmittance

AR+ Sapphire enhances light transmittance by up to 97%, allowing more light to pass through for sharper details, vibrant colors, and reduced glare. Everything looks as it’s meant to be seen, even outdoors or under bright light.

0.5% Ultra Low Reflection Rate

AR+ Sapphire reduces reflections with a refractive index as low as 0.5% for a disturbance-free view. The lower the index, the better the anti-reflection performance. Enjoy clear, vivid visuals even under complex lighting conditions.

Without AR+

With AR+

AR+ Minimizes Light for a Clearer, More Natural View

The lower the reflection rate, the better the anti-reflection performance, delivering clear, vivid visuals even outdoors and under bright lighting conditions.

True-To-Life Visuals with AR+ Technology

With AR+ Technology and an ultra-low 0.5 refractive index, reflections and glare are reduced while maintaining up to 97% light transmittance, keeping your screen clear, vibrant, and easy to see.

FAQs

What does AR+ mean on the Sapphire AR+ screen protector?

AR+ stands for Anti-Reflective Plus. The Sapphire AR+ uses a multi-layer anti-reflective coating that reduces screen reflection to just 0.5% — compared to 4–8% on standard tempered glass protectors. This means significantly less glare in sunlight and brighter, more vivid colours in all lighting conditions.

Is Sapphire AR+ harder than regular tempered glass screen protectors?

Yes. The Sapphire AR+ is rated 9H on the Mohs scale, the same hardness as natural sapphire gemstone. Standard tempered glass screen protectors are typically 6H–7H. At 9H, the Sapphire AR+ will not scratch under any normal daily use condition including keys, coins, and metal objects.

Does the Sapphire AR+ affect screen brightness or colour accuracy?

No — it improves both. With 97% light transmittance and a 0.5% reflection rate, the Sapphire AR+ actually makes your screen appear brighter and more vivid than without a protector in bright ambient light. Colours remain accurate and the display's True Tone and ProMotion are fully preserved.

What is the difference between Sapphire AR+ and Hybrid Polymer?

Sapphire AR+ is a rigid 9H glass protector optimised for scratch resistance and anti-reflective clarity — ideal for users who prioritise screen visual quality. Hybrid Polymer is a flexible protector optimised for impact absorption — it will not crack on drop, unlike glass. Both protect against daily scratches. Choose Sapphire AR+ for the clearest visual experience; choose Hybrid Polymer if you drop your phone frequently.

Will the Sapphire AR+ crack if I drop my phone?

The Sapphire AR+ is significantly more crack-resistant than standard tempered glass due to its hardness and material density. However, like all glass products, it can crack under extreme or direct impact. For maximum impact protection, the Hybrid Polymer screen protector is the better choice.

Which iPhone models is the Sapphire AR+ compatible with?

The Sapphire AR+ Clear Glass Protector is available for iPhone 16 and iPhone 17 series, including all Pro and Plus/Air models. It is also available in Matte and Privacy variants. Select your exact model above.

Does the Sapphire AR+ include an installation tool?

Yes. Every Sapphire AR+ includes the X.One® Installer Pro 2 — a dust-removal kit and alignment frame that guides the protector into position for bubble-free, precise installation every time.
