Apple launched the iPhone 16 series in recent months, and all eyes have been on the iPhone 17 series for a while now. According to new information, the iPhone 17 series, which will be released next year, will eliminate the difference in screen refresh rate between Pro models and standard models.
According to ETNews’ report, all models of the iPhone 17 will feature LTPO displays with 120Hz refresh rate with ProMotion technology. This means that even iPhone 17 standard models will offer a smoother screen experience. Thus, Apple will take the user experience to the next level by bringing the high refresh rate, which has long been exclusive to Pro models, to standard models.
Standard iPhones will now support 120Hz
In previous iPhone models, ProMotion displays were only offered on the iPhone 13 Pro and later Pro models, and standard models were limited to a 60Hz refresh rate. With this move, Apple is seeking to increase competition with Android flagships that also offer high refresh rates and fluidity.
The inclusion of LTPO screen technology in the iPhone 17 series is important in terms of providing a more dynamic screen experience while contributing to battery life. LTPO saves energy by adjusting the refresh rate of the screen according to the content, thanks to low-temperature polycrystalline oxide technology. As it is known, this technology, which we started to see after the iPhone 14 Pro models, could reduce the refresh rate to 1Hz.
The iPhone 17 series is expected to be released in the fall of 2025. It is also among the information that in order to reduce costs in the new series, Apple’s Wi-Fi 7 chip produced with TSMC’s 7nm technology will be used instead of the Broadcom chip.
