Apple's "
iPhone 12 Pro" lineup will feature displays capable of up to 120Hz refresh rates, allowing for a smoother on-screen experience, according to a reliable mobile leaker.
"A reliable source, if there is no accident, iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max have basically determined the maximum 120Hz refresh rate,"
tweeted Ice Universe this morning.
The leaker, who goes by the Twitter handle @UniverseIce, doesn't usually comment on Apple's plans, but is a well-regarded source of Samsung rumors. Samsung has supplied Apple with OLED panels for the
iPhone X,
iPhone XS, and iPhone XS Max.
On a related note, some users of the
iOS 14 developer beta are seeing an accessibility setting that
limits the frame rate of the device to 60 frames per second, possibly indicating that future iPhones will be capable of higher frame rates.
Apple already uses variable refresh rate technology in its
iPad Pro models, but they still use LCD panels rather than OLED. Bringing it to a new breed of OLED iPhones would raise the smartphone performance bar even higher.
Apple markets the
iPad Pro-exclusive tech under the moniker "ProMotion," which it says dynamically adjusts the display to the movement of content for fluid scrolling, greater responsiveness, and smoother motion. It does all this on the fly, which means it also conserves battery life.
Apple's adaptive ProMotion IAPs also reduce
Apple Pencil latency, and reliable Apple analyst
Ming-Chi Kuo has said that Apple Pencil support is a possibility for a future iPhone.
Leaker Max Weinbach has also
suggested that the iPhone 12 Pro, rumored to come in 6.1-inch and 6.7-inch sizes, will feature a high refresh-rate 120Hz ProMotion display.
