Other Using 120Hz and 60Hz iPhones at the same time

[Sami13496]

Hi everyone! I have two iPhones that I use daily: a personal phone and a work phone. At some point this year, my work iPhone will be upgraded to a model with a 120Hz display, while my personal iPhone will still have a 60Hz screen. What do you think, or do you have any experience with this. Does using a 60Hz iPhone start to feel weird if your other device is 120Hz?

I can't speak iPhone-to-iPhone, but when I got a HRR monitor it was a bit jarring switching between it and other devices at first. Eventually you get used to it though. What's the most jarring is when the monitor you expect to be at a higher refresh rate is misconfigured to 60hz.

Not at all, my workphone is the 60hz iPhone 16 and private I use a 120hz iPhone 16 pro. Its not that big a difference tbh. Sure, if you compare side by side but don't really think of it otherwise.

I go between my iPhone Air (120 Hz Promotion display) to my 13 mini (60 Hz Super Retina HDR display) on a daily basis and have no issue going between either devices. The difference in display update rates between both devices don't bother me.

I think it'll make you want a 120hz screen. I don't find the difference the be terrible, but it's definitely there.

The good news is Apple is finally joining the rest of the industry and putting ProMotion in non-Pro devices.

I hardly notice it at all (15 Pro and 16e, though I don't use the 16e much.)

It is jarring to me. Weird.

It is noticeable to me. My partner has a 14 Plus and if I ever use it, the 60hz looks choppy and not as smooth and fluid as my 17.

If you switched to 60hz, after a while of not using 120hz then your eyes would adjust and it wouldn’t look as bad.

I have a 14 for work and a 16 Pro private. To be honest, I don't really notice much difference, unless I am using them side-by-side. The scrolling is smoother, but I generally tend to "fast scroll" to the part of a document I want and don't notice the "jerky" scrolling on the 60Hz display.

I just tried it now and the 14 does look jerky, when scrolled side-by-side with the 16 Pro, but in day-to-day use, I don't really notice it, because I rarely have the 16 Pro open for reference when I am working.
