refresh rate is more noticable than a higher resolution. Iphone 12 with 325 ppi and 90 hz+ would be nice.

Other How important will 120HZ/pro motion be for you on iPhone 12/pro?

I can see the difference its just no that big a deal - to me.
I have an iPad Pro and an iPhone 11 Pro. When I switched to 60hz on the iPad, the lag was significantly more than what it is on the iPhone. The 60hz on the iPad seemed much more laggy than the iPhone.
I can see the difference, it's just that IMO it does nothing for my usability experience and for my use and viewing not cost justified.
Somewhere between "little" and "absolutely not"
If it hurts battery, the latter. Otherwise, the former.

That’s just fine. Do what works for you.
The difference between them, however, is 100% objective.
ProMotion actually helps the battery because I take a haphazard guess: You're watching more static content like reading text or watching pics than you spend time touching your screen where ProMotion turns up to 120 Hz. It goes both ways down to 24 Hz too - maybe even less in future iterations?
Well the pros battery life is that great doubt it would make much difference
Certainly there will be some penalty for 120Hz display, the question is how Apple implements it. If it is similar to the iPad Pro in which it is adaptive they might be able to get a sweet spot for battery life and smoothness. Though the iPad does let you disable Pro Motion to run the iPad at 60Hz so we will most likely also have this control.
The S20 was recently tested, it can only run 120Hz at the lower 1080p resolution and loses about 3 hours battery life when it is enabled.

Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra battery life: 120Hz display takes 3 hours off
The Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra delivers epic battery life, but the 120Hz display mode is a huge drain
On a 65" screen okay maybe, on my 6.5" screen not a big deal to me. Like stated above, it it meant a loss in battery life, then nope, no thank you.
On the iPad it is. It gets a tad jerky. On my 60hz phone (non-Apple) can’t tell a difference at all between it and the iPad Pro with Pro-motion activated. None. At. All.
The lag you get with 60hz. Even after using iPhone 120hz touch input - Samsung phones have become borderline unusable for me
Just curious, why is it ‘very important‘? Now, don’t conflate very important with because ‘it’s easier on your eyes, fluidity‘, but what actually makes it an important feature that something that you have to have?
For me it increases the joy of use. So while it does nothing to improve productivity, I love interacting with the screen and feel somehow better. Full disclosure, I game @144 Hz as well because I love it.
Not important at all. I've never used my phone and thought to myself "this really needs a higher refresh rate as I hate having good battery life".
Its very important because it makes my experience much more joyful. It's a great upgrade over the current 60HZ. It's like playing a racing game on 30FPS vs 60FPS. It makes a huge difference to me.
Very important. The smoother the better. I remember back when people said retina display wasn't important on iPhones and iPads.
