I have the wake on wrist raise set to on instead, since I am not bending my back and get my head down to the wrist level to look at the watch face.I have it on my Apple Watch S6 and S7. I honestly love it because the screen is able to show the calendar date, weather, time, battery life indicator, music, missed calls, notifications at all times. You can see all the information at first glance instead of relying on "Tap to Wake".
If battery life is a major concern. Plenty of things can be turned off instead. This is a good article below ⬇️
iOS 15 Battery Drain: 29+ Tips to Make Your Battery Last Longer
With every new operating system update, there are complaints about battery life and rapid battery drain, and iOS 15 is no exception. Since iOS 15 was...www.macrumors.com
And when I am not looking at it, the screen can stay off.
To be fair, Apple did bring OLED to regular iPhone 12 after keeping it exclusive to iPhone 11 Pro the year before.
I tried out an iPhone 13 Pro Max and the 120HZ gave me some kind of vertigo. The difference is completely in your face. For me It’s the best feature of the new iPhones. My iPhone X looks like 30HZ in comparison.
Concerning the news: I’m afraid they won’t release the next MacBook Air with pro motion.

Must be a slow news day. Only an idiot would think this would be put on cheaper models. As it is, there isn't a whole lot to set each model apart besides camera and display. It was a miracle they stopped putting a crappy 720P LCD in the base model iPhone with the 12 forward.
Hate to correct you :/ but OLED started with the X. Then the 11 pro.
So two years of OLED before it came to the “normal” iphones.
Not entirely accurate. OLED has been on the expensive models since iPhone X. Took them three years to bring it to less expensive ones.
I’d guess that the cost difference between LCD and OLED was much higher for Apple than the price difference between 60Hz and 120Hz ProMotion.
If an OLED screen instead of LCD costs Apple $15 more, and ProMotion only increases their costs by $2, it would make more sense for ProMotion to trickle down faster.
OLED vs LCD probably also has a lot more supply chain complexities.
ProMotion will stay as a premium feature and will be available only on 'Pro' iPhones. Ross is very accurate.
I've never noticed. I didn't notice when we got iPad pros for the first time at work either 🤷♂️
They wouldn’t (In all likeliness). That’s why it’s not realistic from a standpoint where it would detract away from the more expensive iPhones. That’s a specific feature likely locked into the ‘Pro’ models only. Look at Apple’s past history of reserved iPhone features, they’re typically reserved for the Pro models as a marketing feature.
I may be naive, but they could add this feature to non-pro models to make a non-pro midels better.
I'll add my voice to the chorus calling for alwayshon display tech finally making its way to the iPhone.
Does anyone buy an iPhone because of ProMotion? No one really cares. Technolgy evolves and things Apple calls „Pro“ today will be outdated tomorrow.
Some day every 5$ display will be capable of and every 29$ Android phone will just use it ….

ProMotion is still exclusive to iPad Pro's, MBP didn't get it until this year, anyone thinking an MBA air, iPad, or budget model iPhone(let's be real, thats pretty much what the non pro models are) are getting it any time soon is either extremely optimistic or foolish. It's pretty much the biggest selling point of those models, you drop ProMotion and theres not much separating them.
I keep "reduce animations" turned off because I hate how things move in from all directions when I unlock and I have to wait for things to get into position. And then it bounces back and wobbles for a bit. With faceId phones where you swipe that bar up to get to the Home Screen, this animation is totally inappropriate. The other animations are fine albeit a bit exaggerated, slow and sometimes outright goofy.
From a business point of view it makes sense to push people to the pros.
That said 120hz isn't new and the fact they are releasing phones in 2022 at that 799-899 range that runs only 60hz is rather embarrassing
