iPhone 13 Pro Max Post every little thing you can about ProMotion

[Rafagon]

I'm in love with ProMotion, and I created this thread so we can all share information about ProMotion with one another.

I've noticed that ProMotion gets disabled (it's extremely easy [for me, anyways] to tell the difference between the faster screen refresh rates and the slower screen refresh rates when I scroll up and down a website) when the phone is too hot (i.e., when the display brightness is lowered by iOS until the phone cools down).

Couldn't having ProMotion on actually help the iPhone actually cool down faster, given the fact that ProMotion can reduce the screen refresh rate to as low as 10Hz when a faster screen refresh rate isn't needed, thereby reducing battery charge consumption?

I've also noticed that my iPhone 13 Pro Max tends to get in this hot "status" a lot more often than my iPhone 12 Pro ever did. Is anyone else experiencing this?

Yes. That’s why, despite having a smaller battery, the 13 Pro is rated to have better battery life than the regular 13.

ProMotion @120hz varies from 10hz to 120hz and in between I can only express myself that I’m finally excited to use an iPhone again. Having been using the Note 20 Ultra which itself has a 120hz display I just couldn’t touch 60Hz devices. I can’t wait to play Diablo Immortal on my 13 ProMAX.

I would like to ask anyone who sees an app update description that specifically mentions that ProMotion support has been added to that app, to please post the app name here.

On a negative note, some people have found that the higher screen refresh rate or variable refresh rate gives them headaches/nausea/eye strain MORE than the iPhone 12 did.
It’s not conclusive if pro motion caused it, but that’s the primary difference between those phones

When you enable Limit Frame Rate (Settings->Accessibility->Motion), ProMotion becomes 10 Hz to 60 Hz. So there is no way to completely disable ProMotion.

You can disable ProMotion by turning Low Power Mode on. Very easy fix for those who experience headaches or other reactions to ProMotion.

I believe Low Power Mode does the same thing as Limit Frame Rate, won’t completely disable ProMotion.
