Screenshots said to be sourced from a test model of the upcoming 6.7-inch iPhone 12 Pro Max suggest the flagship device could feature a 120Hz display and a LiDAR Scanner.

Shared by leaker Jon Prosser, the screenshots are said to be from a PVT (production validation test) model of the 6.7-inch iPhone. The settings have a toggle to enable "LiDAR" for "assisted auto focus and subject detection for Video and Night Mode."

There's also an option to "Enable High Refresh Rate" and "Enable Adaptive Refresh Rate," a setting that says "the device will alter the refresh rate from 120Hz to 60Hz in accordance to the content displayed on-screen."

There have been mixed rumors on whether some iPhone 12 models will feature 120Hz ProMotion display technology, and display analyst Ross Young earlier this week said that Apple is facing supply chain issues with 120Hz display driver ICs for the iPhone 12 Pro, and so Apple may opt to ship with 60Hz displays or delay the launch of the iPhone 12 Pro models.

Prosser claims that some of the 6.7-inch PVT iPhone models are equipped with 120Hz displays and some are not, and the alleged settings screenshots do mention the existence of both.

Rumors have long suggested the iPhone 12 Pro models will feature a LiDAR Scanner like the LiDAR scanner added to the 2020 iPad Pro models, and this is a feature that is likely to be limited to the higher-end iPhones this year. Both LiDAR tech and 120Hz displays, if implemented, will be high-end features.

These screenshots from Prosser should be viewed with some skepticism. There is some questionable wording in the screenshots, with unusual spelling, capitalization, and wording that Apple does not use. One screenshot uses the UK spelling "behaviour," for example, and Hz is not properly capitalized. "Zoom Capabilities" is misspelled in another of the screenshots, and it references "Slow Mo," when Apple calls it "Slo Mo."

Prosser explains this away by suggesting the wording here is "written for people testing the units," which can't be confirmed. It's not clear if the screenshots or real or have been faked, which would not be difficult to do, but Prosser says that he plans to share a video of the PVT iPhone 12 Pro with these settings in the near future.

In the past, Prosser has been fooled by the people who provide him with content to share. In June, for example, he shared images that he claimed were of a wireless charger Apple was still working on, but it later turned out those images were of a clone device not designed by Apple at all. He has, however, shared accurate information on Apple's launch plans in the past.

Update: EverythingApplePro has also shared the same screenshots on an alleged iPhone 12 Pro Max test device. Curiously, these screenshots show an "AM" next to the time, which is allegedly visible due to the extra display space on either side of the device.



EverythingApplePro claims that the 6.7-inch iPhone has a resolution of 2788 x 1284 resolution with 458 pixels per inch and that a power adapter won't be sold alongside the iPhone, which has been previously rumored.



Update 2: Prosser has now shared a video that features the camera settings screenshots and allegedly depicts the iPhone 12 Pro Max. The notch depicted in the video shared by Prosser appears to be the same size as the current notch, suggesting no reduction in size if the device in the video is truly an iPhone 12 Pro Max and not a fake.

weird, I’ve been using an iPhone for almost 10 years, and I’ve never had a problem with the scrolling. neither has anyone else I know or I’ve heard of who has been using an iPhone for the last several years.
Therefore, it is not a must. It is a want of yours

Thats cause you've never experienced it... thus you are a CASUAL scroller.
 
That screenshots dimensions are 946x2048px, wouldn't a 6.7" iPhone screenshot be another size than 946x2048? That's the 5.8" size @3x and has nothing to do with 6.5" (and therefore 6.7") size. Seems made up considering he's claiming that it's a 12 Pro Max screenshot.

Just 'cause you lived your entire life without something doesn't mean that that something is not a must. 🙄

Twitter compresses images lol they always downscale them to 2048.

The new Samsung galaxy note 20 that is $999 doesn’t have it. So I’m not going to be surprised one bit if the $999 iPhone 12 pro doesn’t have it.

I’m guessing you’ve used an iPhone before. It works without 120 Hz, and if the new one doesn’t have it, it will continue to work.
Again, it is a want, not a must.
 
Well if this is true then I’m excited!
Lidar and 120hz
(Seems 120 maybe they may put only on the 6.7 but I would assume just pro models)

Bezels look unchanged, I hope that’s not the final as the reduced bezels seemed much better - and it better have the new squared design!

Disappointed the notch is the same size but nice there’s “technically a bit more space”
I think next year will be the true form (maybe in the form of an experimental iPhone like the 8/8 plus and X release) alongside the true 1-120hz variable display with always on
