Smarter Shields: How AI Is Reinventing the Humble Screen Protector

To the surprise of smartphone owners, the new generation of screen protectors is claiming to include artificial intelligence (AI) as a required feature. Do the so-called "AI screen protectors" live up to their hype, though?

 

The screen protector market is also experiencing fast-paced innovation, as businesses leverage AI to improve product quality as well as production efficiency. AI is being used more and more to maximize precision during the process of production, detect flaws, and maximize material compositions, resulting in more resilient and reliable protectors. It should, however, be noted that the AI is not integrated into the screen protector itself, but into the process of production, creating a better consistency and fewer flaws in the final product.

 

Tempered glass is still the gold standard in protection and continues to hold nearly 90% market share because of its superior strength, shatter resistance, and impact absorption. The new innovation also includes nano-coating technologies for fingerprint resistance and self-healing capabilities, and greener materials for customers who are concerned with sustainability.

 

While the "AI" brand name is intended to sound futuristic, what the customer is actually getting is enhanced quality control and advanced features incorporated into today's new screen protectors. To the customer, it equates to more durable, longer-lasting protection for their device, but not necessarily an interactive or smart screen guard.
