Two exciting new iPhone 13 features just leaked
As part of his Power On newsletter, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman writes that we can expect to see some nice changes to the iPhone 13 display this coming September. Gurman’s revelations about Apple’s next-gen iPhone aren’t entirely new, but they do corroborate previous rumors we’ve seen in recent months.
Specifically, Gurman writes that Apple’s iPhone 13 display will be far better than anything we’ve seen before. Aside from a “new display for better battery life,” Gurman points to the inclusion of a display with a 120Hz refresh rate. Gurman also confirms the potential for an always-on display, a rumor that first surfaced back in February.
Why an iPhone 13 display with a 120Hz refresh rate is exciting
Rumors of Apple incorporating a 120Hz refresh rate on the iPhone have persisted for a few years. The iPhone 13, though, will likely see this rumored feature become a reality.
According to reports, Apple’s iPhone 13 Pro models will boast a 120Hz ProMotion display. The end benefit for users will be more fluid scrolling, improved responsiveness, and “smoother motion content.” If you’ve already used the feature on Apple’s iPad Pro models, you can attest that this will be a welcome addition to the iPhone line.
Though nothing is confirmed just yet, previous reports have said that Apple will implement dynamic variable refresh switching. This will allow the display to alternate between 60Hz and 120Hz depending on the use-case scenario.
