There have been several reports and rumors about the display panel that Apple is planning to use for the upcoming iPhone 14 series models. Although the device launch is many months away, new details keep surfacing online.
While the iPhone 14 Pro models are said to come with an LTPO display panel with a 120Hz refresh rate, a new report claims that the regular iPhone 14, as well as the iPhone 14 Max, may not feature an LTPO screen.
A report coming from Ross Young claims that the non-Pro models in the iPhone 14 series will get display panels from the China-based BOE and adds that currently the company isn’t capable of supplying OLED panels with a dynamic refresh rate.
Recently, some reports indicated that all the models in the upcoming iPhone 14 lineup could come with a 120Hz display but it turns out that Apple is not in a hurry to upgrade the display panel for all the models, at least not this year.
It is an interesting choice from Apple given that many Android smartphones, even in the mid-range segment, now come with a 90Hz or 120Hz display. However, it seems that Apple will be offering its ProMotion display only for the Pro models.
The Apple iPhone 14 and 14 Max are likely to come with low-temperature polycrystalline silicon (LTPS) panel. On the other hand, the Pro models will probably get the low-temperature polycrystalline oxide (LTPO) tech that allows a display to adjust the refresh rate based on the content being displayed on the screen.
