Display10.86-inch Liquid Retina IPS · 2360 × 1640, 264 ppi · 500 nits · True Tone

Apple does not list full lamination or an anti-reflective coating for this model; True Tone adapts white balance to ambient light.

Apple
11-inch Liquid Retina, LED-backlit with IPS technology; 2388 × 1668 pixels, 264 ppi; ProMotion; wide colour (P3), True Tone; anti-reflective coating (1.8% reflectivity)

ProMotion varies the refresh rate up to 120 Hz to keep scrolling and Apple Pencil drawing smooth. SDR brightness is 600 nits max; the mini-LED XDR display of the 12.9-inch model is not used here. The fully laminated display removes the gap between glass and panel so the pencil tip appears closer to the line.
