- A leaker and analyst has claimed that Apple’s base iPhones will only get 120Hz screens in 2025.
- That means you should expect the iPhone 17 to be the first base model with a 120Hz display.
Apple has restricted high refresh rate screens to iPhone Pro models since introducing the feature back in 2021. So that means those buying vanilla iPhone models are stuck with a standard 60Hz screen instead of a smoother, 120Hz display.
Now, display industry insider and analyst Ross Young has claimed on Twitter that Apple will only bring a high refresh rate screen to base iPhones in 2025. In other words, you’ll need to wait for the iPhone 17 if you want a cheaper iPhone with a 120Hz display.
