Alleged Screenshots From iPhone 12 Pro Max Settings Suggest 120Hz Display, LiDAR Functionality [Updated]

What is the point of your complaining? Typical blind who has to senselessly defend Apple for not having particular features on their devices.

You should want 120Hz, if not, then don’t sound like you don’t want the feature. Clearly you don’t know any better.

I want 120 Hz if it’s not gonna mess with the price, it’s not gonna mess with the battery life, it’s not gonna mess with color accuracy, and it’s not gonna mess with processor speed. If it messes with any of those, I don’t want it. Apple can save it until they can implement it properly with LTPO technology, which is rumored for next year.
Steve Jobs was a person who would delay and delay a feature until they got it absolutely the way they wanted it. He would never rush anything, even if they had to have a new version of the device out every single year. That’s why the iPod touch third GEN didn’t have a camera, but the fourth GEN did. Even though there were rumors that the third GEN wood up until the day before it was announced.
That’s why they never stuffed a G5 into a powerbook, no matter how many customers bugged them too.
That’s why adding a retina display to the second generation iPad was scrapped about a month before it came out. The original A5 chip just could not handle it, so it was delayed for the third generation iPad. The info about that retina display had already been rumored for months, we had the exact resolution and everything. And it was scrapped just a month before the product was announced. So no, this isn’t new for Apple. They wait until they can have perfection, and if they can’t, then the feature will be scrapped and saved for a later date.
Keep this in mind, if you enable 120 Hz on the galaxy S 20, the resolution gets down scale to 1080 P. They just cannot handle both a high resolution at a high refresh rate at the same time. Apple would never compromise like that

Screenshots from EveryApplePro are fake, it's an iPhone 11 Pro Max on iOS 14.

Beta 6 now shows am/pm in the notch.

Was wondering how long it would take people to figure out this out.

The EveryApplePro photo shows an iPhone with ears exactly the same size as a 6.5" device.

Anyone with a 6.5" iPhone can confirm the network, Wi-Fi, and battery indicators have the same spacing as their own device.

It's definitely not a 6.7" unit.
 
amazing ! 120hz is definitely welcomed.

I remember people saying " knowing apple, implementing a higher refresh rate is something that will come in the later years "

Looks like Ive's influence in Apple is all but diminished.

New Design, Widgets On Screen, Refresh Rates, LiDAR Technology, man, this is it.

This phone is going to sell out instantly, boys !

I hope its expensive lol 😅

Well put. I also don’t want 120Hz if it adversely affects any of your stated concerns. Sadly, it seems a lot of people here aren’t very fussy.

For me, the LIDAR sensor is far more interesting and potentially useful.

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

Just like before we had no problem using screens before the retina display and 4k monitor. Now after using a mobile screen with more than 400 ppi and 4k monitor, there’s no way I would go back to a lower resolution screen for my phone and my computer.

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.

How would you know if you buy a “good model”??

Also saw Ross Young, who is more reliable say it isn’t happening.

PVT units are not for sale.

The better question is, why would a PVT unit have different hardware features?

PVT = Production Validation Test

The time for testing different hardware is during the DVT phase, not pre-production testing. The hardware design has already been locked in by then.

Hence, fake.

John already pointed out the problems with EAPs pictures.

oh believe me, I know. I remember when the iPad 2 came out, and everyone wined and wined and wined that it didn’t have a retina display. But then when the iPad three came out, and it finally had a retina display, all they could do is complain about how slow it made the iPad, how hot it made the iPad, and how it clearly wasn’t ready, and should’ve been delayed. It’s going to be that exact same thing. If the iPhone 12 comes with 120 Hz, and people turn it on, and it makes their batteries suck, and it makes the displays darker and not as color accurate, people are going to wine and wine, and say that they should’ve waited until they could get it perfect. Apple just cannot win in this situation.

Only thing I cared about was a redesign. If this is legit then it looks like the bezels are as thick as ever (or mostly) and they kept the huge notch.

Flat edges don’t make up for those bezels in 2020 when every other smartphone out there has razor thin bezels.

Reminds me of my grandpa before he passed away, he had a tv was about 6”... and he had it hanging from his ceiling close to his face.. he insisted that a bigger tv was not necessary, it had served him fine for years.. you just had to move closer if you wanted to see better :)

I never said that 120 Hz isn’t better. It’s obviously better, and it would be nice to have. But if it’s going to destroy battery life, if it’s gonna make the phone more expensive, if it’s gonna mess with color accuracy, or any other compromise that has to be made, then I don’t want it until it’s absolutely perfect.
 
Very important to emphasize that both Prosser and Weinbach are saying this is still a PVT model, half them do not have this option, meaning this is still something that has the chance of not coming to fruition

This is NOT a confirmation of 120Hz, simply that Apple is TRYING their BEST to get it done this year

128Hz is a must have for mobile gaming. A lot of popular games support 128Hz and many of those games do tournaments with money prizes. PUBG MOBILE supports 90Hz and if you win Global Club Open tournament, you'll get $5.000.000 grand prize, so it's an absolute must have feature.
