Although they are very advanced devices, the base series of iPhone still suffers from having low refresh rate displays. This may change with the iPhone 17, as it is estimated that the new series will have up to 120 Hz displays on the screen, even in the most basic versions.
Information from Digital Chat Station on social network Weibo confirms past rumors, such as analyst Ross Young stating that an LTPO OLED display is coming for these devices.
If these details are confirmed, Apple will do what many mid-range Android smartphones have been doing for years by offering a variable refresh rate display. While iPhone Pro family models use 120 Hz screens, others use 60 Hz screens, so it would be an improvement to see the most basic versions of the smartphone with at least 90 Hz.
Do all models have ProMotion?
Speculations about the iPhone 17 include the expectation that all products will have ProMotion technology. This is a refresh rate feature that ranges from 1 to 120 Hz on Pro models, helping to provide a smoother experience in games and save energy, for example, in simpler uses or in Always On Display mode.
Another possibility is that the highest refresh rate at the base level of the iPhone 17 is only fixed at 90 Hz or even 120 Hz. Although this consumes more energy, it will make a difference if the Pro versions stand out more.
Despite various rumors from reliable sources, we will have to wait for Apple’s official announcement to reveal the iPhone 17 series in September 2025.
