120hz ProMotion will iPhone 8 get it ? 99.3% Yes

[bufffilm]

I'm trying to spot a trend. Apple is jumping into AR with the iPad Pro and iOS11 in a big way. It only makes sense to leverage the iPhone Platform into VR now. Overnight IPhone 8 would be the #1. VR platform to develop on.

That requires a high display refresh rate. We have on high confidence leaks that Apple purchased millions of 5.8" OLED displays from Samsung. Samsung OLED displays like the S8 and NOTe 5 can run their displays at 96hz when in VR mode.

It would be very likely that Apple has a new generation of these displays and can implement 120hz ProMotion and enable VR functionality.

Trying to buy and secure several. Website domain names ahead of all this iOSVR.com iPhoneVR.com etc etc. Gotta be one step ahead.

I don't see Apple moving to a materially higher refresh rate until next year.

Watch and see come Sept.

Wasn't it more of a push to get the Apple pencil response times down? Would be very interesting though if Apple could release a 5.8' phone with support for Apple pencil and steal the note's spot from samsung, why not turn a slip into a fall?

You pretty much got this right with Apple recently
filing patient for new IPhones to support the Apple pencil.

I thought 120Hz gets you the soap opera effect? At least I remember screwing around with those settings when I got a new TV 6 yeas ago..

not the 120hz that are causing the soap opera effect. it's actually the intelligent frame creation that does that. you can turn that off on most TVs tho

It's a great way of playing Samsung at their own game, imagine if they could take on Samsung's most popular Note, the only thing is we haven't heard anything about it happening this year, no leaks about it for the up coming iPhone 8.

It would be nice if they brought it across the whole new model range, including 7S.
