Third-Party Apps Can't Take Full Advantage of iPhone 13 Pro 120Hz ProMotion Displays [Updated]

Didn't Apple make a demo at launch about ProMotion and in games? So does this mean it's not working even for games or just normal apps? (other than Apple stuff)

So you’re saying it’s perfectly fine for Apple to have such poor progress for a software of their primary revenue maker, that they couldn’t even have documentation ready at launch. Sounds like you want Apple to fail then.

Time will tell. I actually like a certain part of Apple, and I want them to continue to succeed, and criticism is part of that. I thought Apple had learned about software quality and proper documentations, but I guess they’re still learning.

How is apple going to fail due to a 24 hour delay in new apps supporting the feature being in the App Store?

It works for lots of apps already. There have already been a number of apps released that support it.

Thanks for telling me about what I’m saying, bravo! I simply don’t agree with your assessments on Apple’s progress during COVID. I also don’t agree that updating your iPhone on delivery is a failure, I believe it’s a sign of constant improvement on the software side. As for 3rd party vendors having to add a Plist file to fully take advantage of 120Hz two days after release of the iPhone is fine, there’s no re-coding required to implement it. You see failure, I see constant improvement.

24 hours? I thought it took days for Apple to approve apps (including updates) before they were posted in the App Store? And now we have to wonder which apps are fixed and which apps aren't?

You can think it takes days, but it doesn’t. It almost always occurs the same day it is submitted.

And why do you have to wonder? If 120hz is so great, surely you can tell if your favorite app supports it just by looking at it, right?
 
This must be that one of those "Amiga can display 4,096 colors on-screen at once", but its limited to paint packages not games, things

Going from an Atari STe to an Amiga was amazeballs, back in the day....

64 colors but half of those were halfbrite.

This article is officially wrong, and should have an update tag. ProMotion is fully supported, and just needs a plist tag so the phone doesnt waste resources on apps that don’t say they need it. Another example of thoughtful engineering by Apple. And I’m chuckling at the hatebois who went off half-cocked (with a few choice comments quoted).

Yeah, I really don’t understand why there isn’t an update to the post from MacRumors. It’s ridiculous that this is hanging around as if it’s true.

Honestly who cares. If you are willing to pay $1,000 or more for a phone and you break the screen then you pay Apple to replace it with genuine parts, or use AppleCare to reduce the cost. Stop whinging that backyard bob does not allow screen replacements at lower cost. In addition this voids the warranty as well if not done by Apple, so there is no real benefit, financially or otherwise to bypass Apple.

Yes Apple charge more however their work is guaranteed and covered, unlike backyard bobs repairs. Why the hell would you want to go "el cheapo" to replace a screen externally to the manufacturer plus parts shipping plus your own time to repair it (further financial loss). Lay off the red cordial. I've never had to replace a screen on my iPhone ever in my life, that's what cases and glass screen protectors are for.

I think you’re replying to the wrong thread.

Sounds like you should read the very next article on MacRumors, in which you’d learn that this article is actually wrong.

Thanks for letting me know, at the time I posted the new article and updates were not known.

Well, you posted yesterday and the followup article went up 3 days ago, but whatevs. I requested that the first article be updated and that’s now done, so hopefully folks stop jumping on Apple over this.

And now Apple said its a bug and fix is coming shortly.

And this is what android fanboys always end up standing on: a pathetic lie.

Not implementing 120 hz a while ago in order to ''make it run better than android'' IS STILL just an excuse for Apple delaying another easy feature for iphones...

I never even knew you could delete it. How do you add contacts if you don't have a contacts app?

I don’t really understand it. Maybe a bug I’ve transferred through a backup? 🤷🏽‍♂️ I’ve just been managing them through the tab in the Phone app. The phone just keeps offloading the app for some reason.

Also, I rarely delete contacts except during spring cleaning when I go on my computer and export/merge duplicates/import. So I guess it’s just never been an issue… I don’t know what functionality I’m missing if any.
