120Hz Refresh Rate For All iPhones

It’s 2024, and it’s hard to believe that a premium phone like the iPhone 15 doesn’t have a 120 Hz display. The iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus only come with a 60 Hz display. If you want a higher refresh rate, you’ll need to get an iPhone Pro.

This is thanks to a feature called ProMotion, which actively changes the refresh rate on the iPhone, slowing it down to save battery for things like watching videos, which don’t require high refresh rates, and ramping it up to a full 120 Hz when you’re using your iPhone for faster-paced activities like gaming

While it’s true that most casual iPhone users don’t know or care about ProMotion, most competing smartphones come with a refresh rate higher than 60Hz — even smartphones that are way cheaper than the iPhone.

What do the rumors say? Unfortunately, things don’t look great, at least not for this year’s iPhone. If rumors are true, we might see a 120 Hz refresh rate come to the standard iPhones in 2025, but then again, we’ve also been hearing these rumors for a while.
