iPhone 16 or 16 Plus owners might not like all these iPhone 17 rumors claiming the base iPhone 17 model and the iPhone 17 Air will support 120Hz refresh rate (ProMotion).
It’s the one feature so many people want from Apple’s cheaper iPhones, one that buyers have been waiting for years. Some of them buy the iPhone Pro or Pro Max phones solely for ProMotion.
They might think Apple keeps ProMotion exclusive to the more expensive models to make more money. Nobody would blame them considering that many mid-range Android phones feature displays that support 90Hz refresh rates or the full 120Hz.
But the real reason Apple hasn’t brought ProMotion to the non-Pro iPhone 16 models but plans to do it with the non-Pro iPhone 17 versions isn’t just about upselling the Pros. It’s also about something not all iPhone buyers think about: Apple’s complex supply chain and the availability of screen supply that matches its massive needs.
