iPhone 13 Pro Models to Use Samsung LTPO Technology for 120Hz Display

[EugW]

Great! once you see the difference between 120 Hz and 60 Hz you don’t want to go back. Hopefully with a smaller Notch and Touch ID. This would be a great upgrade on the display site

As already has been mentioned, a lot of us already have 120 Hz iPads and don’t really care about this feature. YMMV.

I sold my 10.5 iPad Pro and replaced it with an iPad Air 4. I have yet to notice the missing ProMotion

I took the Same upgrade route and came to the same conclusion.

I have a iPad Pro too and use currently a smartphone with a 120 Hz Display. I see the difference and don’t want to go back. The 60 Hz on the iphone 12 Pro Max is the reason because i not buy it. So I will wait until the new Pro Max this year to go back to iOS.

This is awesome if it’s happening. This is going to really make me want to upgrade my iPhone 12 Pro Max to the iPhone 13 Pro Max. Which is want I don’t want since we’re updating everything in our Apple line up this year. Gonna be a really expensive year. Gonna to try to hold off will see.

From what I have heard, Apple could have used Samsung's natively-developed LTPO technology for the iPhone 12, but they felt it was not up to their standards. So as someone noted up-thread, Apple is probably using their own LTPO technology for the iPhone 13 and having Samsung Electronics manufacture it for them as they have the production scale Apple needs (where LG does not, even though they have been using Apple's LPTO process on the Apple Watch).

We saw something similar with the iPhone X. Apple used Samsung Electronics to create the OLED panels, but those panels utilized Apple's Precision Display Calibration and these Apple panels were higher quality than those Samsung Electronics was supplying to Samsung Mobile for the Galaxy series (as DisplayMate testing subsequently showed).

I'm just guessing here, but I think it will use Samsung tech that's being used currently on Note 20 Ultra. This is an industry-first mobile 120hz display with variable refresh rate (VRR) with a range of 1Hz to 120hz. There was an article on this tech on anantech not too long ago.

Ross Young has stated always on display will be on the 13 pros as well which makes sense given the LTPO technology

I don't know what all the fuss is about with this feature. I have 120Hz on my iPad Pro and I get that as the display is so big...but does it really make that much of a difference on a small device?

On top of that, it sounds like a battery drainer and that's the last thing I want on a mobile device. The iPad is fine as the battery is so huge!

I love 120 in my other phone. So snappy.

Good. Pro's should get the pro features. Higher refresh screen and larger battery (on top of the other features the pros have over the non pro models). Lets get the battery back to iphone XR/11 levels, not iphone 12 (where they shrunk the battery)
