One of the biggest advancements in smartphone displays is the jump to high refresh rates. While these displays deliver a buttery smooth experience, especially when scrolling or gaming, they can come at the cost of increased battery drain. The iPhone 13, 14, 15 Pro, 16 Pro, 17 Air, 17 pro and Max, 18 Pro and Max versions tackle this issue head-on with their innovative adaptive refresh rate.
This technology allows the display to intelligently adjust its refresh rate from 10Hz to a blazing-fast 120Hz. What does this mean for you? When you're engaged in fast-paced activities like gaming or watching high-frame-rate videos, the display will seamlessly switch to 120Hz, ensuring incredible responsiveness and a visually stunning experience.
