More proof Apple is working on the exciting new iPhone feature everyone’s been asking for

[Chris Smith]

• The iPhone 13 is rumored to offer a feature that’s only available on iPad Pro and various Android flagships, a 120Hz refresh rate display.
• A new patent indicates that Apple is studying technology to allow a display with a 60Hz default refresh rate to operate at up to 240Hz.
• The technology suggests Apple may be working on devices that could support adaptive refresh rate screens, similar to Android phones like the Galaxy S21 Ultra.

A year ago, Rumors said that the iPhone 12 would feature the same display technology that Samsung launched with the Galaxy S20, high refresh rate support. That made plenty of sense, considering that Apple had introduced 120Hz screens on the iPad years ago. But that ProMotion feature took its time to make the jump to the iPhone. Reports that followed said that Apple wasn’t happy with the 120Hz tech for the iPhone 12, as the higher refresh rate impacted battery life. The first Galaxy S20 reviews showed last year that the higher refresh rate would consume more energy. Ultimately, the iPhone 12 launched with a regular 60Hz display, and some people were not happy about it. Then again, it’s Android that can benefit the most from higher-refresh rates.

iPhone 13 rumors have resurfaced the 120Hz display rumor, claiming that ProMotion is in the cards for the next-gen iPhone. This time around, rumors also say that Apple might be using a different screen technology to make it happen. Apple doesn’t comment on leaks and speculations, but there’s one type of development it can’t hide. We now know that Apple isn’t working on adding just 120Hz refresh rates to its devices. But the company might be developing a mechanism that intelligently scales up the refresh rate up to 240Hz.
