2020 iPhone could have an upgraded Retina display with 120 Hz ProMotion technology

The iPhones coming downwards the thruway adjacent twelvemonth could purpose 120 Hz screens, doubling the refresh charge per unit of measurement as well as resulting inwards smoother scrolling, faster activity inwards games as well as other benefits.

The rumor comes via UniversIce (via Igen.fr), a leaker best known for Samsung-related rumors (there could last approximately merit to it because Samsung builds OLED panels for iPhones).

ProMotion automatically adjusts the display refresh charge per unit of measurement to agree the motility of the content. Considering that ProMotion also makes Apple Pencil on the iPad Pro serial to a greater extent than responsive, it’s non a stretch to imagine that a futurity iPhone amongst a ProMotion display could larn its ain Apple Pencil-style tool downwards the road.

Apple won’t last the origin to marketplace a 120 Hz phone—those bragging rights belong to Razer, which at the destination of 2017 launched its ain smartphone amongst a display running at 120 Hz.

Aside from smoother as well as faster everything, I intend Apple is motivated to upgrade the iPhone Retina engineering to ProMotion at this detail signal inwards fourth dimension due to its rumored augmented reality headset said to larn inwards adjacent year. It’s said to purpose iPhone for processing as well as graphics, which makes it audio equally if it’ll last an iPhone accessory rather than a standalone headset.

If such a device mightiness last something nosotros would position our iPhones into, it improve convey a high refresh charge per unit of measurement because whatsoever head-worn display amongst a refresh charge per unit of measurement below 96 Hz causes virtual reality sickness amongst symptoms similar full general discomfort, headache, breadbasket awareness, nausea, vomiting, pallor, sweating, fatigue, drowsiness, disorientation as well as fifty-fifty apathy.

ProMotion made its debut on the second-generation iPad Pro inwards 2017.

So far, it hasn’t made a boundary to the regular or mini iPads. On the iPad Pro family, ProMotion dynamically adapts the concealment refresh charge per unit of measurement depending on the type of content show. Play a flick or read a slice of static content similar a mass as well as it may driblet to a Hollywood-friendly 24 fps. But when the tablet detects frequent content changes, the refresh charge per unit of measurement gets boosted to thirty or sixty fps, as well as going all the means upwards to 120 Hz when scrolling etc.

Here’s Apple’s description of ProMotion:

ProMotion technology. Only on iPad Pro. ProMotion engineering automatically adjusts the display’s refresh charge per unit of measurement based on what you’re doing for the almost responsive surgical physical care for possible. So whether you’re scrolling through pages inwards Safari, playing an intense 3D game or drawing a complex example amongst Apple Pencil, everything feels utterly smooth, fast as well as immersive.

By automatically adjusting the display refresh charge per unit of measurement to agree the motility of the content, ProMotion also helps cut ability consumption.

While all electrical flow iPhone models from iPhone X onward characteristic a touching on layer that samples input 120 times per second, resulting inwards faster as well as smoother gestures, the display frequency remains capped at sixty Hz. On iPad Pro, touching on input sensitivity is double the iPhone’s at 240 Hz inwards club  to brand Apple’s stylus fifty-fifty to a greater extent than responsive, effectively halving its latency.
