Hopefully one of these OLED panels is usable for those of us affected by PWM.
Got a tip for us?

Yes, with a Samsung TV, and Samsung SSD; still an awful company which produces mediocre portable devices which happens to make some good components

In the same way that Apple Silicon are TSMC chips, but your response is still valid regarding their displays
I won’t be getting it (on once every two years upgrade and have a 12 Pro Max) but 120 MHz will be awesome. Finally Apple!
Couldn’t care less for it. Will turn it off if I can to prolong battery life. If the new iPhone has a good 10X optical zoom however, count me in!
This is absolutely NOT TRUE!
Fundamental studies were conducted waaay back in 1987 by physicist.
For the record, Apple is NOT an academical institution and they definitely did NOT develop LTPO!
Hatalis, Miltiadis K., and David W. Greve. "Large Grain Polycrystalline Silicon By Low-Temperature Annealing Of Low-Pressure Chemical Vapor Deposited Amorphous Silicon Films." Applied Physics 63.07 (1988): 2266.
Hatalis, M.K., and D.W. Greve. "High-Performance Thin-Film Transistors In Low-Temperature Crystallized LPCVD Amorphous Silicon Films." IEEE Electron Device Letters 08 (1987): 361–64.
Samsung also developed its own version of LTPO that they don't pay Apple patent fees. They've been using it to produce displays for Note 20 and S21.
Samsung is an excellent manufacturer of equipment engineered by Apple. They are a terrible product design company. They can be both.

Good, good, good... the regular iPhone 13 are getting LTPO displays as well. Great! We’ll probably see always on notifications on the lock screen as a feature for all the iPhone 13 lineup, including the mini. Perfect!
It was worth it the wait. Now please include Touch ID and make this gen one of the more significant leaps on iPhone history.
the iphones all ready had touch ID back in the early days with the iphone 5S throw iphone 8 line up so that really wont be the bigest leap in iphone history if apple adds it back

Scroll a page of text and try to focus on the letters, it's a jittery mess. Do the same on 120Hz and it's smooth and solid, it's an overall experience improvement and less strain on the eyes.
Precisely. The same applies with TSMC being the world’s dominant chip producer by developing the technology and process engineering to produce the architecture designed by Apple for the A,M,S,U series of Silicon.
Most don’t make the connection between Architecture Design and Manufacturing.
Ok, I just read the piece of news again. Now I’m sad, why can’t we get a low power display in the regular iPhone lineup??
Damn, my hype has fallen down. I really wanted a low refresh rate display for always on notifications.
By the way, you forgot a comma: “No, only pro models get LTPO”, otherwise I could misunderstand you.

What? Which parts of their devices does Apple even manufacture themselves?
There‘s a steep difference between designing/engineering and manufacturing something. I assume you‘re confused between the 2 meanings as evident by the comment above?
Seems like this is the end of the iPhone journey. Now, they will need even better marketing to make you buy another phone, or they will introduce even more planned obsolescence, like suddenly slower scrolling speed after updating to a “security” iOS release.
After this, all new iPhones will solely be about smaller notches, CPU/GPU/NPU and camera updates…exciting times…exciting times…
The innovation hit a granite wall, and the wall wins.

My iPhone X is crappy indoors but I wouldn’t blame that on the modem, more like T-Mobile. But most of my calls in my house are good and I call my family on WhatsApp most of the time.
