Do you actually have to wipe the screen with the included special cloth? The screen on all of the macbooks that I've had usually get oily patches because of the contact with keycaps, so I have to wipe the screen regularly.
I wipe all my devices with regular paper towels with a tad of water. Including my $5k Apple XDR display.
I am probably not the best example to emulate lol.

I have Pro Display XDR with nano coating and the manual definitely says to only use their special cleaning cloth (or with some isopropyl alcohol). The standard coating might not need it though.
Does it make much difference for looking at code?
Yes, the main goal is to be easier on the eyes IMO.
It's easier to read on it.
How is the contrast? The HDR content? Any downsides?
I will upgrade to M4 Pro and really hate the glare when I travel (and I do that a lot) but at the same time I don't want to lose any quality that the MBP delivers which is quite excellent imho
It’s essentially a matte coating, but the execution on iPad displays is excellent. While it doesn’t match the e-ink experience of devices like the Kindle or ReMarkable, it’s about 20-30% easier on the eyes. The texture feels also great (even though it’s less relevant for a laptop), and the glare reduction is a welcome feature.
I prefer working on the MacBook screen, but I nearly bought an Apple Studio Display XDR or an iPad as a secondary screen just for that nano-texture finish. It's super good news that this is coming to the MacBook Pro.
