Delhi Delhi. Apple's standard iPhone next year may finally have the display that even cheaper Android phones have had for years. Confirming previous leaks, a new report has claimed that the iPhone 17, along with a new Air variant, will feature a 120Hz refresh rate on its display – a feature that Apple has also announced on the 2021 iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max model.
According to an ET News report, citing an industry source, the 120Hz ProMotion display will be standard across the entire iPhone 17 lineup, possibly arriving next year. Apple may use LTPO screens on the standard iPhone 17 models for smoother animations and scrolling. The report says that this will provide iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Air users with a similar viewing experience to users of the Pro models.
After launching it on the top-end iPad Pro models, Apple brought the display technology — which enables higher refresh rates with automatic granular adjustments — to the iPhone. The iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max were the first devices to ditch the 60Hz OLED screen for a ProMotion Super Retina XDR display. This was very early in 2021, so while the standard iPhone models didn't get a screen upgrade, customers were expecting the 2022 iPhone 14 to get a 120Hz display. However, Apple didn't make the change with this year's iPhone 16 either – which still uses a 60Hz screen. The 120Hz ProMotion display has been exclusive to the Pro model since its introduction in 2021. The latest reports claim that this may change next year.
Current standard iPhones use LTPS screens, which have a fixed refresh rate. LTPO displays, on the other hand, are more advanced and have the ability to refresh content at different rates. This can go as low as 1Hz or up to 120Hz in the case of the iPhone. This means the iPhone can deliver smooth animations when playing games or scrolling websites for maximum display performance, but can also save battery by reducing the refresh rate when a high refresh rate is not needed. .
