Samsung to Start Making LTPO OLED Displays for Apple in First Half of 2021

LTPO should mean battery life should be no different than it is now one the pro models. The iPhones this year will also have likely bigger batteries.
Battery life will be no different due to this LTPO panel. Bigger batteries are also likely.
Sure your phone is smooth enough but with 120hz it’s going to be noticeably better.
the LTPO display that apple will be using is supplied by Samsung
Samsung has been a key Apple supplier for various parts since the first iPhone. Apple can custom order and also use their own software to tweak things, but the LTPO panel in question is manufactured by Samsung. Samsung is a large company that does much more than just make and assemble phones
And samsung can't even make a proper smartphone. 😂 same old story every year, exynos lag heat gate, camera issues, laggy os, bloat galore.
On the iPad Pro, the 120hz makes a difference for games and when using the Pencil (improved latency).
The main (and arguably only) reason iPads support 120hz is for the pencil to have the lowest latency possible so it feels natural while drawing. I could see them adding 120hz to the max model if they also come out with pencil support for it, maybe even a small pencil that can be tucked away in the phone like the Samsung note.
The only other benefits are smoother operation/animations/gaming, and removing any motion artifacts from watching 24hz content - neither of which will be worth the (huge) battery hit IMO, even if nice features to have.
Do I still want it? Yup 😂

Finally! Hopefully a higher PWM Frequency will help people like me that have problems with low PWM Frequency.
5000 mAh battery, 15 hours usage. 🤤🤤🤤 I know I'm dreaming, most likely be closer to 4000 mAh 🤦♂️😂
Battery life will be fine, the 3,678 mAh battery in my 12 pro max is more than enough, can hit 10h usage on WiFi easily.
You will actually notice it most in e-Mails. It's immediately obvious that with 120 Hz, you can actually read the text as you swipe or scroll across the screen. On normal displays, it either gets blurry or it jumps too many pixels every frame. With 120 Hz you can actually read it as it moves by.
For movies it would probably clock down from 60 to 24 frames to save on battery and get rid of those pesky extra frames here and there that make slow sideways camera movements a bit jerky.
I’m hoping for 120fps MacBook Pro
And for YouTube to support 120fps videos.

If this display tweak is implemented with the current generation X60 QC 5G modem, as opposed to X55 that Apple is currently using in the 12 Pro, it might very well result in an overall battery life improvement.
new 5G modem will help with battery life along with this new display technology
You have no idea what you're talking about. Apple has been using Samsung tech in every iPhone since the first.
It's not a new tech for Samsung. They started using it in their phones last year. I assume that Apple had a chance to evaluate the panels by now.
Kinda just rolls right off the tongue, don't it?
hey man with their usual cinnamon sprinkles this‘ll be sweet Apple Pie!
and I’m not talking McDonald’s or McDowell’s Apple Pie I’m talking Popeyes hot 🔥!
just below seems to be one a good answer for you
suffer from vertigo LOL.
honestly I think will definitely see a big difference not just with scrolling but most importantly with the transitions transitions and I always seem to be too slow one of know that I hope goals because it seems more of a moral alert is when you add songs to the playlist up yet something right dead centre in your face and cover so much of the screen it’s annoying as hell. More importantly we might see better in terms of clarity when it comes to action videos or action movies some of the scenes are so fast that it’s just a blur in your mind or just your conscious mind just seem to just except it and move on for the next visually accurate frame. But a lot of times when you slow down the frame rate on the playback rain that’s when we start to see horrible misses in quality.
well if you had ever touched a phone with 120 hz you would not writing these things so you should cut the crap...I am not even going to talk about gaming experience with 120hz...
On MR, a lot of people have already determined that they can no longer use the new iPhone without 120Hz. It's not really about practicality around here as it is about a lot of people chasing tech to stay they have the latest.
120Hz on a small screen isn't going to make any real difference, in my opinion. It's the same with people griping their 6" phone isn't 1080p+ etc.
