Glossy screens are an absolute night-mare for any kind of screen-to print-matching. They defy colour and luminosity-critical work, apart from being harder on the eyes. The only reason why manufacturers are producing these screens is commercial: people like things that shine. And adjusting these things for "no reflection" is pretty tough unless you work in the dark.

True, David. That's a good point, though I doubt it was the reason for Apple's choice.
