As Ross Young had already confirmed in his rundown that later turned out to be perfectly identical to reality, it seems that the next standard iPhones will also be 60 Hz only. This is becoming a ridiculous situation, how can we give money to such a company? By now 120 Hz is something that Android manufacturers rightfully put even on the low end products. By the way, even iPhones Pro hardly ever exceed 90 Hz, so it’s not even real 120 Hz. What a disaster.

    To me the smoothness of iOS makes it look better at 60hz than Android does at 120 with its stuttering and inconsistency

    for me it’s ok as long if this is the only this PRO models has, iPhones pro are not worth upgrade from normal only for 120hz. If they would add something else (like 3D Touch) I’d spend more money for phone.

    So what? Having 120Hz all the time just wastes battery. Just doesn’t make much sense on a phone.

    To be honest, 60hz in iPhones is not the same as 60hz in Androids. It doesn’t feel the same to me, anyway.

    They won’t have much to differentiate the “Pro” version. I barely use the camera so the 120hz screen is the only reason I got it

    I bought the 14 pro and now Each time I use my gf phone I always tell her your phone look blurry. I can’t go back messing around a 60hz phone

    I don’t I care. I like 60Hz because of the better battery life. I only want it on my iPad for the lower latency on Apple Pencil

    99% of people that buy base iPhones don’t want nor care about it, so why make the base model more expensive? This isn’t that crazy lol

    I’m currently going back and forth between a 120 Hz and a 60 Hz device and this whole issue is completely overblown

    60 hz is just fine for 99% of people and not as much of a disaster as you claim it is.

    As long as people don’t switch away from iPhones because it doesn’t have 120Hz, Apple has no incentive to include it. Would just cost them money.

    Even better: some people probably buy a pro because they want it, so Apple makes even more money!

    The reality just is that most people buying non-pro iPhones just don’t care about high refresh rate.

    There are $100 Android phones coming with 120hz.

    People can try and justify it however they want, and there are certainly arguments to be had. But don’t pretend it would change the price of the base model whatsoever.

    They are holding back features on the base models to upsell their Pro models. And you are absolutely right about fake 120hz even on Pro model iPhones. There are some videos on it on Youtube. I have personally used a 13 Pro and I can confirm that it barely even reaches 90hz in all of Apple’s own apps (including Safari) and even in many third party apps (including Whatsapp, Instagram and Spotify). I don’t see the point of 120hz if the display goes to 80-90hz max most of the time. Scrolling in Settings or Safari is 80-90hz and feels very choppy compared to Samsung flagships with 120hz, all of which give true 120hz when needed. And some people with pea sized brains still defend Apple and say that it’s adaptive refresh rate so it won’t stay at 120 all the time in order to save battery, but what they don’t understand is the display should go to full 120hz when you are scrolling and immediately return to a low refresh rate whenever scrolling is complete.

    I downgraded from always Pro to normal 15 and I’m used to 60hz after only a day. Like other said this topic is totally overblown.
