Apple iPhone 17: this exclusivity of the Pro models will indeed arrive!
In 2021, Apple launched ProMotion on iPhone 13 Pro and 13 Pro Max. As a reminder, this is an adaptive refresh technology thus oscillating the display frequency between 10 and 120 Hz. The following year, the Apple firm improved things by going down to 1 Hz on THE iPhone 14 Pro.
Arrived at iPhone 16 Pronothing has changed. Worse still, non-Pro models are still limited to fixed 60 Hz. A grotesque situation when we know that the majority of Android smartphones go up to 120 Hz, even if adaptive refresh technology (LTPO) remains mainly for the mid and high range.
Finally, a saving change would arrive at the start of the 2025 school year with the iPhone 17. Previous rumors were indeed leaning towards the adaptation of ProMotion on all models next year. After Ross Young or even ETNewsit is the turn of another analyst to confirm the good news: Digital Chat Station.
“Judging from the supply chain materials, the standard version of iPhone 17 should have a high refresh rate”shared the informant on Weibo at the end of 2024. The opportunity to benefit from an adaptive refresh rate like the latest Pro models, providing more fluidity, better energy efficiency or even the always-on mode.
The iPhone 17, 17 Air17 Pro and 17 Pro Max will therefore adopt a similar display. It now remains to be seen whether Apple has other tricks up its sleeve to promote the Pro models. In view of the improvements planned by Samsung with the Galaxy S25 Ultraa boost in brightness would be more than welcome. We have also been hearing for some time abouta more discreet Dynamic Island.
