As Ross Young had already confirmed in his rundown that later turned out to be perfectly identical to reality, it seems that the next standard iPhones will also be 60 Hz only. This is becoming a ridiculous situation, how can we give money to such a company? By now 120 Hz is something that Android manufacturers rightfully put even on the low end products. By the way, even iPhones Pro hardly ever exceed 90 Hz, so it’s not even real 120 Hz. What a disaster.
To be honest, 60hz in iPhones is not the same as 60hz in Androids. It doesn’t feel the same to me, anyway.
Cope! I have a 13 Pro and I disabled 120Hz because I couldn’t tell the difference. Does it upset you that I’m not basking in the glory of a refresh rate of something higher than 60Hz?
I hope Apple never offers something above 60Hz on the base models because a higher refresh rate on a phone is completely unnecessary for me.
Haha you would have an aneurysm working at my store. People have been coming in to the store to switch from Pro phones to the regulars just because of the colors. It’s actually selling very well. Not once have I had someone come back to return it bc of the display.
Yes and? I don’t need more than 60hz and i’m not willing to pay even more for something i don’t need nor care about.
So what? Having 120Hz all the time just wastes battery. Just doesn’t make much sense on a phone.
99% of people that buy base iPhones don’t want nor care about it, so why make the base model more expensive? This isn’t that crazy lol
As long as people don’t switch away from iPhones because it doesn’t have 120Hz, Apple has no incentive to include it. Would just cost them money.
Even better: some people probably buy a pro because they want it, so Apple makes even more money!
The reality just is that most people buying non-pro iPhones just don’t care about high refresh rate.
They are holding back features on the base models to upsell their Pro models. And you are absolutely right about fake 120hz even on Pro model iPhones. There are some videos on it on Youtube. I have personally used a 13 Pro and I can confirm that it barely even reaches 90hz in all of Apple’s own apps (including Safari) and even in many third party apps (including Whatsapp, Instagram and Spotify). I don’t see the point of 120hz if the display goes to 80-90hz max most of the time. Scrolling in Settings or Safari is 80-90hz and feels very choppy compared to Samsung flagships with 120hz, all of which give true 120hz when needed. And some people with pea sized brains still defend Apple and say that it’s adaptive refresh rate so it won’t stay at 120 all the time in order to save battery, but what they don’t understand is the display should go to full 120hz when you are scrolling and immediately return to a low refresh rate whenever scrolling is complete.
60 hz is just fine for 99% of people and not as much of a disaster as you claim it is.
I’m currently going back and forth between a 120 Hz and a 60 Hz device and this whole issue is completely overblown
I bought the 14 pro and now Each time I use my gf phone I always tell her your phone look blurry. I can’t go back messing around a 60hz phone
There are $100 Android phones coming with 120hz.
People can try and justify it however they want, and there are certainly arguments to be had. But don’t pretend it would change the price of the base model whatsoever.
I don’t I care. I like 60Hz because of the better battery life. I only want it on my iPad for the lower latency on Apple Pencil
They won’t have much to differentiate the “Pro” version. I barely use the camera so the 120hz screen is the only reason I got it
I downgraded from always Pro to normal 15 and I’m used to 60hz after only a day. Like other said this topic is totally overblown.
