Samsung Reportedly Begins Production of 120Hz Display for Upcoming iPhone 13 Pro Models

If you scroll fast on a regular 60hz display, the strobe effect is very noticeable as the screen refreshes 60 times a second. If you scroll really slowly, like snail slow, the motion is smooth because the image on the screen isn't moving very fast.
A 120hz screen when scrolling fast will look as smooth as a 60hz screen scrolling slow

I would like to see Apple get to a point where they can make their own screens and won't have to sub it out.
Kinda silly to ultimately be supporting your No 1 competitor.
I guess that's why they are always copying each other too.
No charger? Fine. Let's both do that.
Locked phone with no battery access? Fine. Let's both do that.
They both dominate the world.

I agree. I sometimes think that Apple doesn’t even get the good displays from Samsung. They get the B+ displays. But Apple does well to tweak the displays to their taste.

Next step, own electronic components factory, screen fab as you call it, produce its own apple battery. Now iPhone 25 would have Apple capacitor, resistor, PCB, transistor etc. Apple will become world’s only company that can produce a complete sophisticated electronic device without subcontracting anyone else. Complete vertical integration. Sounds great right?

I have an iPhone X and 2017 iPad Pro with Promotion and I can’t tell the benefit or the difference when browsing or scrolling. Smartphone features have become so insignificant. When the iPhone launched in 2007 the big deal is you email anywhere, browse the Internet like you could on a desktop, do email and carry around your music in your pocket and watch videos on. It pretty much ticked the important boxes with exception to the glaringly missing copy and paste. Subsequent iterations improved the experience: 3G, video Recording, Retina display, notification shade, LTE, larger screen, Touch ID, 64 bit performance and improved user experience with Face ID and all screen UI and of course, the camera. I think since the iPhone 4s the camera has been remarkably good.

But iPhone XS and later, it’s kinda become niche features or Pro features as Apple calls them. Apple seems to have been sucked into the world of Android and looking for continued growth. Their hands are kinda tied anyway; if they don’t respond Android might get that revenue. It’s a tough position for Apple to be in.

I have an Iphone 11 Pro that does everything I need to do, and it does it very well. However, when the Iphone 12 came out with the snapdragon modem (as supposed to the crappy intel modem in the Iphone 11), which tests show has superior reception (not just 5G, but also over LTE - significantly so in certain circumstances), that is one thing I wished my phone had. Because poor reception is arguably the worst thing.

Apple is no longer in the bleeding edge tech business. Just a copy and paste company right now. Let other companies be leaders in innovation. Until someone knocks them off, they'll keep at this pace. Plus their fans don't care and in the end, money talks.

Thank goodness for other companies that pushes tech further and innovate.

You do know that Apple has the patents on the LTPO displays that enable this 120Hz refresh.

There are tons of patents that do the same thing but w/ different ways. Look at jpeg, png, and bmp. All pictures but compress differently. Apple has it but so does Samsung. The big difference is Samsung has to actually build it. It's not a software thing, it's a hardware thing. Apple doesn't build the hardware. Samsung has that built right now into their S20 phones. They are keeping it for a year and not allowing any other phone manufacture use it. They are letting them use it now though.
