iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air: Apple gives special and better features every year by separating its pro model from the rest of the iPhone lineup. One such feature is promotion, which reflects the ability to dynamically refresh the content on the screen of the iPhone display 120 times per second. Well, the Chinese Tipster Fixed Focal Digital on Weibo claims that the iPhone 17 and the iPhone 17 Air will have 120Hz screen, but there will be no promotion feature. This can matter to those potential iPhone 17 series buyers who want a smooth and good display experience.
Promotion display in iPhone 17, 17 Air
Tipster says that the iPhone 17 and Air models will have “a simple 120Hz screen, but the promotion will not be adaptive refresh rate”. This rumor is also interesting because Apple’s 120Hz screen so far was all promotion. The iPhone 17 Pro model is expected to continue shipping with the promotion screen. The iPhone 13 Pro models switch between 10Hz to 120Hz. These displays are of an advanced technique called LTPO (low-temperature polychristline oxide). If you are playing a game or watching a content, or just scrolling the screen, the screen will be refreshed at the high refresh rate. The seamless switch can save power and introduce smooth visuals. Meanwhile, these new iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Air display will not be refreshed continuously and seamlessly to match the frame of content output by GPU or system. They can switch to different stops like 60Hz, 90Hz and 120Hz.
What will be special in iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Air
If you are looking at the non-pro iPhone and the smooth display matters for you, then it would be right to wait because the upcoming iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Air is rumored to be given 120Hz refresh rates in the upcoming iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Air. But note, these displays can be less fluid than the promotion screen of the iPhone 17 Pro model. We also want to see if the Apple iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Air will give allways-on displays, as the previous non-pro iPhone also did not have this facility. AOD can work at a certain refresh rate, but it works efficiently on the LTPO panel. let’s watch.
