When Apple announced the iPhone 16 series, many were disappointed by the fact that the base iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus still featured the standard 60Hz refresh rate. For flagship phones starting from $799, the display was the Achilles heel of these two devices. But the next generation iPhone 17 might finally bring support for a higher refresh rate.
Apple iPhone 17 finally gets a display upgrade
The latest information arrives from known tipster Digital Chat Station who shared the details on Weibo. Apple is reportedly planning on improving the display refresh rate on its standard and Plus models. To recall, the Pro and Pro Max variants come with the support of the ProMotion display tech, which offers a 120Hz adaptive refresh rate of 1-120Hz. This feature might finally become universal across the entire 2025 iPhone lineup.
The tipster claims that the iPhone 17 will support a higher refresh rate, although, we still don’t know the exact refresh rate. So it is entirely possible that the Cupertino based giant might have you settle for just a 90Hz refresh rate. This panel might not support variable/adaptive refresh rate either. However, this is just speculation at this point. Unfortunately, that is all the information that was shared by Digital Chat Station.
Apple is also working on a new iPhone 17 Air model, which has apparently entered a new production introduction phase. This model is rumored to measure just 5 to 6mm thick. Similarly, a Samsung Galaxy S25 Slim is also in the works that would likely rival this new model. An early render leak also teased the design of the iPhone 17 Pro series with a Google Pixel inspired camera design.
