According to various rumors, the iPhone 15 series is expected to follow a similar product launch strategy as the iPhone 14. While details are still uncertain, it seems that Apple is likely to stick with the same approach that worked well for them in the past. The latest Korean report suggests that the standard models in the iPhone 15 lineup (iPhone 15 & iPhone 15 Plus) will not have the ProMotion and always-on display features that are exclusive to the Pro models.
The ProMotion feature, which adapts the display’s refresh rate to the content being displayed, provides a smoother and more responsive experience. This is achieved through the use of low-power display backlighting that supports refresh rates ranging from 1Hz to 120Hz. Unfortunately, it seems that only the Pro models will have the LPTO panels required for ProMotion, while the standard models will not.
Similarly, the always-on display option, which allows the Lock Screen to stay visible without significantly impacting battery life, will also be exclusive to the Pro models due to the 1Hz refresh rate capability of the updated LPTO panels. While this may be disappointing news for some users, the standard models will still feature a more power-efficient OLED display driver chip, which could contribute to longer battery life.
There have been reports of production scale constraints that may prevent Apple from bringing LPTO panels to the entire iPhone 15 series, with the company’s supplier BOE reportedly not having the production capacity for mass shipments of LTPO displays for high-end iPhones until 2024 at the earliest. However, all iPhone 15 models are expected to feature Dynamic Island, which could provide some relief for disappointed fans.
