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

That's just the Apple way since they can get away with it. Overpromise and under deliver primarily for cost cutting and squeezing more profit. Any other company that pulls that gets burnt on the stake.

iPad Pro M1 fake ProMotion 120Hz

Galaxy Tab S7+ 120Hz

Interesting. Maybe that’s why I never can tell the difference

It would be interesting to those YouTuber and be like “impressed “ and turn out to be just 60hz
All the “wow omg. So smooth. You got to see it in person lol”

apple is so behind, if it wasn't for the eco system I would love to try Samsung and android 12, iOS and hardware just isnt the apple I love

Same here and apple knows it but I think it’s good to try to break away slowly

During the keynote, they showed a game when they were talking about 120 Hz. I forget the name of the game. But they said that that game was coming later. So I'm quite sure that third-party apps are, or will be allowed to in the near future, use 120 Hz refresh rate.

Seems that’s been with apple last few years

feature coming later
Apps/feature are in betas

“this will come at next year iPhone “ — per leaks and doesn’t happen and be like “oh next year for sure “

No need to only suspect, they demoed this exact functionality at the event. You can see the variable refresh rate fall off dramatically as the scroll decelerates. There would be no reason for a refresh rate like 80hz to appear during this process unless it was adjusting to the speed of the moving objects, which is really clever.



It's an oversight or bug. I couldn't find where the original claim of "Apple's apps are exempt" came from, but you can find animations in Apple's apps that are running at 60hz. There's also no API for 120hz, it's something that happens in the UI framework automatically. There would be no need to hide any API from developers because there is no API.

While it sounds good on paper but it just seems that apple using its “adaptive “ to limit whenever they want to

on the new iPhone even when you use 3x there are many times iPhone will actually use the wide lens coz it’s “adaptive “ and apple once again “knows what’s best for you at the moment “
