Rumors Suggest iPhone 17 Lineup May Feature High Refresh Rate Displays

Reports indicate Apple may introduce 120Hz ProMotion technology to all iPhone 17 models, marking a significant upgrade for non-Pro devices.

Overview

  • Multiple sources, including a Weibo leaker and display analyst Ross Young, suggest the iPhone 17 lineup could adopt 120Hz ProMotion displays for all models.
  • ProMotion, currently exclusive to Pro models, enables variable refresh rates between 1Hz and 120Hz, improving smoothness and battery efficiency.
  • The rumored upgrade would bring Apple's base iPhones closer in display quality to Android competitors, which have widely adopted high refresh rate screens.
  • Apple is expected to use LTPO display technology across the iPhone 17 series, which supports ProMotion and allows for always-on display functionality.
  • These reports remain unconfirmed, but align with Apple's trend of gradually introducing Pro features to standard iPhone models over time.
