You gotta love the things an OEM can do when they have a blind following. No charger, no earbuds, no advance hardware, etc.. They complain and complain, but they keep on buying. Or they don't complain, instead, they justify why Apple doesn't do things first, because they say, Apple wants to do it the "right way." At the same time they call Apple a leader. Yup.
If the Almighty Apple whom are a TRILLION dollar company can't do it. Then they sure are weak if the other no named brands are able to do it. Very angry. It's just pure greed.
But at least it includes an Apple logo sticker. However, knowing Tim Cook, he may start charging extra for it.
Makes sense. 2021 iPhone 12 Pro S...For speed of the refresh rate
If 5G is the flagship feature for 2020 phones, ProMotion can be a great "S" year feature.
I have to say I'm more interested in 120Hz than 5G at the moment, if the only improvement is 5G I'm skipping this year's phone.
Very ridiculous because they will be removing the charger and the earpods. So it's actually a feature LESS iphone. No point in upgrading. I may just buy the note 20 if that's the case.
No. Ross Young knows his stuff because he is involved in displays Unlike say Prosser who had a good track record but has been proven wrong on other things
If it’s true, I will just hold on to my iPhone X for another year. ProMotion is a must for me, I’ve already been expecting a 90Hz display for the 11Pro.
Apparently Note 20+ is expected to come with QHD+ 120 Hz refresh LTPO tech with bigger screen. I just want to wait for its camera reviews and potential issues since they sell Exynos chipset in my market and also the price is getting huge like iPhones...
This year many may skip fancy upgrades across the globe due to many uncertainties. Last thing they want to spend on is on a mobile at $1200 upwards until $2200. Apple might know this better and hold off making major upgrade this year.
Just because someone else does it does not mean you should too. example: everyone copying apple's notch.
Though a new iPhone with a notch and no ProMotion is likely a solid no go for me.
Even as I’m typing this on my iPad Pro 12.9 with ProMotion display, I could care less about getting the feature on my iPhone Pro Max (or whatever the next iPhone gets named). The only reason I would want it, is if it is part of the adjustable rate refresh capability, that would reduce power usage in cases where you don’t need high refresh rates.
It may be that I’m spoiled by the screen on my iPad Pro, but without having a more equal size to size comparison, I can’t even tell the difference between the two devices.

This is probably the only feature that would make me consider upgrading this year. I'm pretty happy with everything else.
It seems like this update will be very underwhelming. 5G and a possible battery drain associated with it, paired with the fact that very few markets will have it ready and implemented to begin with. It doesn’t feel like there will be any really compelling features this year. It all makes the 11 Pro models with their solid battery life a better purchase.
ERMAGHERD - APPL DROPPE THEY 5W CHARGER, EARPODS, AND NOW 120 Hz <foaming at the mouth> What's next is Apple going to drop the iPhone and just sell u an empty box???
Ami doing the meme right? see I'm funny!
Apple being Apple. If most everyone will still buy the new iPhone without, then save it for the next big thing.
As soon as the articles about the 2021 iPhone started popping up, we kinda knew we were in for another snoozefest this year
