While the Apple iPhone 13 Pro series arrived with ProMotion display that had 120Hz refresh rate, it seems that this year’s iPhone 14 Pro models will also feature this display technology along with some upgrades that would expand its functionalities.
For those unaware, the iPhone 13 Pro series sported LTPO panels that had variable refresh rates that allowed for better power efficiency. The ProMotion displays was basically able to preserve battery life by only producing fast frame rates when needed. However, the iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max’s ProMotion displays only supported refresh rates between 10Hz and 120Hz.
On the other hand, offerings from brands like Oppo and Samsung can drop as low as 1Hz. Known display analyst Ross Young believes that the next gen iPhones will use a ProMotion panel that can also drop to 1Hz refresh rate as well. This would mean that the iPhone maker might soon be able to offer better features as well as improves its battery life on the upcoming smartphones as well. One of these better features, include the Always On Display.
An example of this being Apple Watch Series 7 models that also use LTPO displays that enables the smartwatch to offer up to 18 hours of battery life. This was higher than previous entries in this series, despite offering ALways on Display. In other words, next gen iPhone 14 Pro series might soon also offer this feature, which will help display information like time, date, and notifications without turning on the display.
