I've noticed that at least some of the MacBook Air screens -- and the Retina MBP screen? -- are glossy, but with an anti-reflection coating. I've been wondering for some time why Apple hasn't been using using AR coatings on their glossy screens. These coatings used to be standard on high-end CRT monitors.
Anyway, I'm glad to see Apple coming around on this. Interesting, too, that they don't seem to be talking about it at all. Maybe they're worried that advertising some of their screens as AR-coated will draw attention to the fact that others, such as their 27" Thunderbolt monitor, are not. (I tried to use one of those for a few days, and gave up; the reflections were driving me nuts.)

Dropping the glossy black bezel helps, too. The only thing better would be a matte, black bezel (to hide the camera hole).
