Apple’s iPhone lineup is set to receive a major upgrade in the next few years, as rumors suggest that the company is planning to introduce high refresh rate displays and LTPO technology to its standard iPhone models. The move is expected to make the user experience smoother and more responsive.

According to Ross Young, CEO of Display Supply Chain Consultants, ProMotion technology, which was first introduced on the iPhone 13 Pro models in 2021, will expand to standard iPhone models in two years. This will allow the display to ramp up to a 120Hz refresh rate for smoother scrolling and video content, as well as ramping down to a more power-efficient refresh rate when necessary. This is expected to be made possible by the introduction of low-power LTPO display technology to standard iPhones in 2025.

While the iPhone 13 Pro models can ramp down to 10Hz, the iPhone 14 Pro models can go as low as 1Hz, allowing for an always-on display that can show the Lock Screen’s clock, widgets, notifications, and wallpaper even when the device is locked. The roadmap provided by Young suggests that the “iPhone 17” and “iPhone 17 Plus” will feature ProMotion and an always-on display too.

In addition to this, Apple is also expected to introduce under-screen Face ID and cameras in future iPhones, according to Young’s roadmap. The analyst has accurately leaked many display-related details about future Apple products, including ProMotion coming to the iPhone 13 Pro and MacBook Pro.

The introduction of high refresh rate displays and LTPO technology is expected to widen the gap between the standard and Pro versions of the iPhone. However, it is believed that Apple will eventually introduce these technologies to all its iPhone models, as it has done in the past with OLED technology and Dynamic Island.

While the standard version may not introduce LTPO technology until 2025, this move is a significant step forward for Apple’s iPhone lineup. The company has been under pressure from users and competitors alike to introduce high refresh rate displays, and this move is expected to be a major selling point for future iPhones.
