- A new leak corroborates previous rumors that the standard iPhone 17 could finally get a high refresh rate display.
- We’ve long heard that the iPhone 17 and the iPhone 17 Slim/Air will come with a 120Hz LTPO OLED display with support for an Always On display.
- Android smartphones have long transitioned away from a 60Hz refresh rate to at least 90Hz and, more popularly, 120Hz displays.
One of the biggest sore points of using a non-Pro iPhone is that you are stuck with a 60Hz refresh rate display. Even on the latest iPhone 16, the display is noticeably less smooth than on budget Android devices that have long transitioned to 90Hz and 120Hz displays. If you’re hoping for an upgrade, the iPhone 17 is shaping up to bring good news, as it could finally make the jump to a 120Hz refresh rate display.
Leaker Digital Chat Station on Weibo mentions that the base variant of the iPhone 17 series, the standard iPhone 17, is likely to have a high refresh rate display.
