According to the guys from iLounge, Apple could ban the sale of protective films for the iPhone screen in all its stores from May. This decision could wipe some of the most popular accessories manufactured by third parties of their physical stores as well as their online store.

The prohibition of sale of such products could also affect those sleeves that incorporate such protective film, forcing customers to look for this type of accessory shops that have nothing to do with Apple. Also could be affected also those decorative and protective products that are specially made for devices manufactured by the Cupertino company.

The manufacturers have not received any official response, nor an explanation of the reasons for this ban. However, there are speculations that Apple wants to promote the supposed durability of the screens of their products.

It is a fact that is not the lack of popularity of these products, and a sample of this is that these protective films, accessories are the most requested by consumers in Apple stores. This type of accessory currently holds the sixth or seventh in popularity in the U.S. Apple Store.
