After spending half an hour in the Apple Store comparing iPads with and without the nano-texture display, I came to the conclusion to skip the nano-texture display and here are the reasons why:

  1. The display doesn’t provide a paper-like sensation when using the Apple Pencil.

  2. There is a subtle difference in image sharpness.

  3. The blacks are less complete blacks, which cancels the OLED screen advantage.

  4. The contrast seems to be a little bit lower on the nano-texture display.

The corollary of this decision is:

a) I’m saving some money.

b) Since I’m settling on the 512GB of storage, I’ll get only 8GB of system memory.

c) This iPad is a little bit less future-proof.

So, that’s it for the decision about this display finish!
