The excitement for Apple’s upcoming iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Slim is building, especially with growing rumors that these models will finally include ProMotion support. This feature, known for creating a smoother scrolling experience through higher refresh rates, has typically been exclusive to the Pro models. After its absence in the iPhone 16, many are hopeful that ProMotion will be available across all models this time.
According to recent reports from industry insiders, Apple is looking to introduce low-temperature polycrystalline oxide (LTPO) panels for all four iPhone 17 displays. This means not just the standard iPhone 17, but also the slimmer variant, as well as the existing Pro models. LTPO technology is efficient because it allows displays to adjust their refresh rates based on the content shown, improving visual smoothness while also conserving battery life.
This adaptability is increasingly valuable in today's smartphones. All iPhone 17 Models Rumored to Feature 120Hz ProMotion Displays The entire iPhone 17 lineup, including the standard iPhone 17 and the rumored "iPhone 17 Air", is expected to feature ProMotion displays with a variable refresh rate up to 120Hz. Samsung and LG will reportedly.

Beyond ProMotion, there are also exciting rumors about advancements in LTPO technology itself. A recent report about the Apple Watch Series 10 hints that improvements in LTPO could lead to significant changes in future iPhone displays. If LTPO3 technology is adopted, it could enhance power efficiency and potentially expand the ProMotion refresh rate range from its current cap of 120Hz to as high as 240Hz.
This shift would create an even smoother experience for activities like gaming and watching high-definition videos. Bye bye 60hz iPhones iPhone 17 series will apparently all have 120hz ProMotion LTPO OLED Displays pic.twitter.

Each new iPhone iteration aims to elevate the user experience, and adding ProMotion to the standard models would certainly take things to the next level. The iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Slim promise to be important additions to Apple’s smartphone lineup.
With ProMotion support potentially included through LTPO technology, these models are set to enhance visual performance and showcase Apple’s dedication to blending innovative technology with user-friendly design. As the launch date draws near, anticipation continues to grow around what these new devices will offer. SEE ALSO: Apple's iOS 18.
