Who's hyped for this upgrade? 🔥 #iPhone17 #Apple #TechNews #RefreshRate #MacRumors #TechLovers #Innovation — Connor GPT (@connorgpt) December 31, 2024 Apple has a history of introducing hardware upgrades in its Pro models first and later extending them to the standard versions in subsequent years. While most Android manufacturers have been offering smartphones with 120Hz displays for years, Apple’s Pro iPhone models have featured ProMotion displays with a 120Hz refresh rate since 2021, enhancing the user experience with smoother animations and scrolling. The adoption of ProMotion displays in the iPhone 17 and the rumored iPhone 17 Slim would close the performance gap between the standard and Pro models, giving all versions of the iPhone 17 a high-refresh-rate display.
