90hz+ looks really nice, but unless you are using it side by side with a 60hz device your brain adjust super fast. If you are someone that uses an iPad Pro and iPhone side by side, you really can feel the effects.

What about regular, non-pro iPhone? I mean, yeah, sure, I don’t need Pro-motion on a non-pro device, and I’m ok with a regular refresh rate. But this LTPO panels could allow us to have much lower power draw from the screen, improving the battery life (something the iPhone mini could use, to be honest)
I'm not. I'm still waiting for a rectangular screen OLED iPhone. If Apple were to allow iTunes Movies/Music on Android devices, maybe I wouldn't care so much, but I am really bothered by the notch in iPhones/hole punch in galaxy phones.
It favors the battery life for you - ProMotion slows down to much lower refresh rates on the fly, when the material is static (i.e. you’re staring at the same thing for more than a second), then speeds up the millisecond you start scrolling.
If there's something I'd love to see on a new phone is a buttery-smooth display.
You are the one who is electing to read a site every day that provides all the latest rumors on all things Apple.
Stop carrying rocks in the same pocket? In all these years I’ve never managed to scratch a single iPhone screen.
As I stated to another individual:
take a joke and a breath. You’re the one who is electing to respond to a comment that you obviously misinterpreted.
Yep. That’s far more interesting than 120Hz for scrolling. I don’t notice a difference scrolling between my iPad Pros and my 11 Pro.
I am supposed to notice it in my iPad Pro and to be honest I see no difference with my previous iPad pro that did not have ProMotion. Maybe I am just not the target user I guess.
Not to mention, an often over looked hurdle unique to Apple is production numbers. There are FAR more iPhones sold than any other singular Android. Look how many iPhone 11 alone Apple sold last year vs any single Android. That makes production much tougher on suppliers, etc.It seems like you believe companies can just snap their fingers and come up with a product, firmware, support infrastructure, marketing materials, website updates in short order.And usually when iphone features "catch up", they set a new high standard.
I definitely notice a difference using my wife’s older Gen 1 iPad Pro with 60Hz vs going to my Gen 2 and Gen 3 iPad Pros. I don’t notice it a difference on my iPhone tho.
Edit: I just scrolled this page side by side with my iPad Pro and you can definitely notice a difference... but not in isolation which is how I use the devices. I never scroll the two devices the same exact time. I welcome 120Hz but I would rather have AoD.

I didn't realise the AirPods max were "basic"? What other comparable "basic" headphones are there?
Finally! This is the only thing left I’ve wanted from the iPhone. I have a 165Hz monitor (LCD) and 120Hz TV (OLED) and the difference is massive.
Hopefully the next MacBook Pros will feature high refresh rate displays too as they do look choppy when next to a high refresh rate display.
I’m glad Apple is taking the time to do this right.

That's a good differentiation between the Pro and the standard model. We have iPhone 11 with LCD and 11 Pro with OLED, now all the iPhones are OLED, so you "only" get a third camera and LiDAR on the Pro. Having a 120Hz display will make my choice easy next year, I'll gladly spend the extra money to get a ProMotion display.
do they need it for marketing purposes? yes, almost every Android have it - and iPhone 'power' users want it
But does having 120hz allows regular joe to launch facebook faster, take better/faster photos, faster/more accurate typing NO - and yes, I switch from iPhone Pro to iPad pro and I don't see any difference

Yep we all need a new phone next year. I mean the 12 is so out of date. Apple disgusts me with their throw away bs. Earth friendly. I don’t think so.
I don't care about a 120Hz refresh rate...Apple needs to focus on bringing TouchID back to iPhones via a reader built into the display. Face masks and FaceID don't mesh well...
