Not Using 120Hz Displays on All iPhones

Refresh rates have become a popular topic in the smartphone world. Now, it’s expected that most smartphones will have a high refresh rate— at least higher than 60Hz. Of course, every smartphone except for the iPhone will have a high refresh rate.

Apple has made it very clear that 120Hz is exclusive to its Pro models. You can only find 120Hz displays on products like the iPad Pro or the iPhone Pro, which, of course, cost at least a couple of hundred dollars more than their base models.

To be fair, most casual users won’t even know or care about a higher refresh rate. As long as the display looks good, having smoother animation doesn’t matter as much. Most people won’t notice unless they compare two smartphones side by side.

Still, it’s crazy to think that there are smartphones that are half the price of the iPhone and still have a higher refresh rate.
