Its pretty sad at this point that apple doesn't include this as standard across all line up. Most android phones have them these days.
No, not many Android phones have LTPO panels. Samsung just put it for their highest end phones.

The other Android are using less efficient tech with non variable rate panels (only fixed rates switching by software), and many uses IPS, not OLED.

I'm genuinely curious about future iPhone naming...
Will be get numbers all the way? iPhone 38 will be something?

You mean the display that doesn't run at 120 permanently because Apple won't admit what it would do to the battery?

'pro'motion my ass
Why would you want a constant 120Hz rate? It will only drain the battery for nothing. Variable rates are optimal, giving high refresh rate when you actually need it automatically, and save battery when you don’t need it.
 
That sucks! I don't buy pro phone because of how heavy they are. 120hz is really not a pro feature. I hope this rumor is false🤞

Apple's fortunate that majority of iPhone users are completely ignorant about the state of tech on Android side of things. These 120hz displays were launched in 2019 and now even $200 devices have them.

That’s such a bad take lol. You can argue that they’re late to the game, or that it sucks the feature is limited to the pro model, but spinning the strength of the implementation compared to other phones into a weakness is a new one for me. This will save tremendous amount of battery. whats better? Reading immobile text and having the screen refresh 10 times a second or 60 times/120 times for no reason?
 
So if iPhone 13 does not have Pro Motion, is there anything at all new from iPhone 12?? The battery life. Anything else?

They do but these screens aren't OLED or when they are, the 120hz comes with limitations, lower resolution, lower brightness and of course terrible battery life. I do think Apple should bring the standard phones to 90hz and we should already be talking about 144hz not 120 on the pro.
