Having an iPad Pro with 120hz I could immediately tell that my 13 pro max wasn’t delivering true 120hz. One thing that I found out was that when screen recording, the display instantly became 120hz. Try it by yourself and launch the screen recording. As soon as it starts recording the scrolling becomes super smooth. Weird glitch and I hope they fix this in a future update in which we get true 120hz all the time. EDIT: Now on iOS 16.3 and nothing has changed.
@@kawartie it's not if you scroll in 3rd party apps or apple's own apps, like settings. I have the 13 Pro and I f*cking hate how it's not 120hz. Safari, on the other hand, has 120hz.
It's now 3 years that this problem persists, no one talks about it anymore, all the big youtubers and media are silent about it, if it had been Samsung, OnePlus or Xiaomi, they would talk about it every day, really too much bias in favor of Apple 🤦🏽♂️ Personally, I think all manufacturers should do like Apple, or at least give the possibility of using 120 hertz adaptive screens in adaptive 90 hertz mode.

@@cassidywilliams7187 02:39, Chinese tech gamer guy is telling & showing the truth, maybe the iPhone 13 Pro Max can display 90hz display refresh rate on their Settings App & not just all the way up to 120hz maximum since Apple did said, from the launch event, that both iPhone 13 Pro & 13 Pro Max have "Adaptive Variable Display Refresh Rate" so it means that both will not just switch to either 2 fixed variable refresh rates(either 60hz or 120hz) dynamically but it can actually go lower from 10hz upto 120hz(10hz, 20hz, 30hz, 45hz, 60hz, 90hz or 120hz). That's the advantage of the adaptive variability of the display refresh rate since the animations & transitions are not crudely jumping from 60hz to 120hz but subtly slowly & smoothly transitioning the animations thru adaptive refresh rates so that the video being displayed looks so smooth & life-like. Apple did a good job since the display is not dynamically fixed to just either 2 display refresh rates(60hz & 120hz) but it can go from a range of 10hz upto 120hz.
As 120hz user, you can immediately notice that iPhone 13 seems not really 120hz. But it doesn't matter if what they advertise is fake or nah, apple fanbois will still praise and worship it no matter what.

@@GoldenReviewer It doesn’t go to 120 hertz immidately to save battery at touch impulse and goes to 120 hertz while scrolling which would adjust 10-120 hertz which is actual 120 hertz therefore your whole mythology is fake and should stop misleading people
I have Z Flip 3, iPhone 13PM & even the S21 Ultra and i can see the difference between them for sure. I was planning to make a same video like this but bumped to this video and discovered that my eyes weren’t betraying me. Good job bro, this issue needs to get more attention as no major reviewer seems to bring this up, either they don’t feel it or they just don’t want to. What ever the reason is, something is fishy with 13 pro max’s 120hz display claim..
Nothing is fishy, just that it actually adjust refresh rate from 120 hertz and then locked until static image and therefore anything he said in the video is fake, and clearly Samsung should’ve had the same result as iPhones if it could go down to 10 hertz but that’s not the case and therefore, everything works as advertised
I think this is true because yesterday i was in a phone retail store comparing iphone 13 pro max's 120hz display to that of the s21 Ultra's 120hz, and i considrably felt that the s21 ultra had a more fluid and smooth 120hz display whereas the 13 pro felt like it was more of a 90+hz rather than solid 120hz while scrolling through homescreen and settings
The variable refresh rate was mensioned by apple and that it goes from 10 to 120. but i did not think that the implementation ca be this poor. Thank u for pointing this out.
That's actually bs. You need high refresh rates when scrolling or something. That's the point of high refresh rate. If apple limits it and only use 120hz on a really demanding apps or games, that's a pointless thing since you cant utilize the 120hz unless apple wants to.
@@Thomas_Sch Not paying for lies, It’s literally useless to have a 120hz refresh rate on a 60 fps game. All you’re doing is refreshing the same frame twice a second instead of once a second. Just like watching 30fps content on a 60hz screen has 0 impact. Not to mention there aren’t any games that can go 120fps on an iPhone.
I can hear the Apple fanboys hammering their keyboards to say its "intellegent optimisation" 🤣 If it isn't a bug, apple should be explicitly clear when the 120hz refresh rate works.
iPhonedo made a video about it, as someone has already mentioned here. There isn’t a bug in the video shown, the refresh rate adapts to the animation and speed of the finger (which Apple has also confirmed and also made pretty clear), so as the animation speeds up or slows down, so does the refresh rate. As i said in another comment somewhere else, I measured the times between the frames, and the iPhone 13 goes through different stages, the first ‘phase’ starts at 4s/frame, and goes up to 2.5s/frame at its fastest, which matches the S21 Ultra which always stays at 2.5s/frame. So it does reach 120hz.

@@arthurchristmas4112 Apple confirmed that is opt in only which is lame asf since the iPad didn't have such limitations even so when iPadOS has the same code of iOS.
I believe the issue your facing has to do with scrolling speed. Samsungs default scrolling speed is faster, I would suggest doing a game test, there you can set stuff the same like sensitivity and get a more accurate test. Also Apple's adaptive sync is more aggressive than Samsung meaning the default to a lower max fps depending on what your doing than Samsung to save battery but from what I've been able to tell with my own testing is the iPhone does have 120hz it just doesn't use the max rr all the time like Samsung does. All the time meaning Samsung always uses 120+ then when you stop scrolling and the screen is static it starts to turn the rr down.
dynamic vs fixed refresh rate, Iphone start increasing from 1hz to 120hz depend on how fast your finger moving is mean while fixed 120hz always start at 120hz
We all know Samsung's "adaptive" isn't actually adaptive, but more like huge jumps between 120, 90, and 60. This just proves that Apple's variable refresh rate actually adapts more accurately to your touch.

@@SovietBear4 it does trigger at certain scrolling speeds if it is a slower scrolling speed it will not go to 120 but instead 90 but if it’s faster it is 120
I notice this problem too. However, probably Apple decide the refresh rate by the speed you scroll. If you scroll faster it probably use up all the 120hz setting. If you scroll slower it probably only triggers 90 hz

may be but then what's the point of having high refresh rate if you are not willing to utilise it. I mean it's a 120hz panel so why restrict it to lower refresh rates.. btw now I have read a lot of article on this issue and according to them apple is restricting apps to 60hzs. probably a software issue or may be it's intentional. either way it's an issue that they need to fix. obviously it can be fixed with a software update.
@@mayank09pratap the reasoning behind it im not so sure about but I do agree with the fact that it seems to be a software issue that can be addressed down the line
The reason the average refresh rate is lower is because the iPhone dynamically adjusts the refresh rate as the animation and scrolling speeds up. You can follow it with a stopwatch. The iPhone starts at 4s/frame in the slow mo video, and speeds up to 2.5s/ frame when he’s scrolling really fast and continuously, exactly matching the S21 Ultra’s 2.5s/frame. The S21 Ultra however, doesn’t adapt dynamically but instead ramps up its refresh rate straight to 120hz as soon as it detects touch input, hence the higher frame count. It is not a surprise, and should have been a very simple observation to make while editing and reviewing the video before posting, that a phone that ramps up in phases (e.g. 10-24-60-80-120) averages lower than a phone that doesn’t ramp up in phases (I.e. 120-120-120-120-120).
@@arthurchristmas4112 just like the normal iPhone 60hz panel as it changes from 10 to 30 to 60 when needed like when I was doing something on a 60hz game like on roblox as it went from 60 to 10hz not useing it for 3 mins
honestly i own both but i just can't feel the 120 hz on iphone i swear,many things feels slower,from youtube to facebook or web browser etc…my s21 ultra just feels faster
cuz the animations are slower on iphone on samsung the scrolling speed is faster and iphone slowed down animations and scrolling speed so its more smooth on 60hz. hopefully they fix this and make the animations faster
Tbh I came from a 120hz Samsung phone to iPhone 13 hated it. Even 60hz on my Samsung phone felt smoother than iPhone 60hz. It has something to do with the glass which iPhones are using. Now on 13 pro I can feel that even though it’s 120hz it isn’t smooth as samsung. No idea why no one mentions this
This is very misleading. The iPhone 13 Pro’s display uses an “adaptive” refresh rate, meaning that the smoothness depends on the user’s finger speed (how fast they scroll) as well as the activity on the screen. This is in order to save a massive amount of battery life as having it constantly at 120htz would absolutely wreck your battery. Not to mention not all apps support 120htz and will have to be updated to take full advantage of this feature. Please do more research first next time.
Not sure but this is my take on it. You guys saw the Pro Motion segment in keynote? So when you touch the display it’s 120hz, but after you perform your action like scrolling, it will immediately reduce the frames from 120 to 90 or 80 even lower. That’s why Samsung and iPhone started at the same frames but Samsung provided locked 120hz throughout the entire scroll, while apple immediately reduced the frames after the initial touch and that’s why we can see the reduced number of frames compared to Samsung.
Bro you need to test IOS 15.4 120hz on 13 pro max ALL says this iOS will fix 120hz for ALL apps but i have this update i think this update is not constant 120hz
Yes they lied 100% about the 120 Hz refresh rate the maximum that the refresh rate goes up to is 70 Hz you can make it do 120 in extremely fast scrolling but it hasn’t been achieved yet
That’s not the case. I’ve tried an 60hz Samsung and it’s scrolling was also faster than my iPhone. iOS tends to be smoother than faster. Samsung animations are faster. Screen refresh rate is another thing
@@GoldenReviewer pls try to Play LOL Wild Rift in your Iphone 13 PRO so that we can know if its a real 120HZ, LOL Wild Rift supports 120FPS, pls compare also Ipad PRO M1 vs A15 Chip in gaming
@@GoldenReviewer Your testing is flawed, and your conclusion is wrong. FPS counters have already confirmed that it can reach 120hz, as does your own video. iPhoneDo has also already made a video clearly showing the iPhone 13 Pro displaying every single frame of a 120fps video, which would not be possible without a >120hz capable Display. As Apple has already stated in their own Event AND in their own description of ProMotion, the LTPO display on the iPhone 13 Pro (Max) adjusts dynamically according to touch input and animation rather than locking in at 120hz once touch input is detected. If your finger is moving slower, it will refresh at lower rates and vice versa. At the start and end sequences of the animation, ProMotion also ramps its refresh rate up and down from ~10 up to 120hz. Now as for your flawed testing, you have completely failed to account for how Apple manages its refresh rate according to their statement and marketing by taking total frame count as proof of lack of 120hz. If you watch your own video, you can see how the iPhone 13 Pro Max slowly ramps up its refresh rate in the slow mo sections. It starts off at a lower frequency, taking 4 seconds per frame, and ramping it up until it reaches the same frame rate as the S21 Ultra at 2.5 seconds per frame at its fastest. Now if you watch the video again and test the S21 Ultra, you will see that it locks in at 120hz as soon as it detects touch input, taking 2.5s/frame; the same as the iPhone at its fastest. Taking total frame count for the iPhone here is like comparing the acceleration of two sports cars set to different gears: one will reach its top speed faster than the other, but that doesn’t mean that the other car can’t go just as fast. Considering that you now have two sets of data, is it surprising that the S21 Ultra, which has no variations within its data, averages out at 120hz, while the iPhone 13 Pro Max averages out lower due to having differences within the data set that are lower than 120?
Which is retarded, if im scrolling slowly i dont want my display at a low hz, there is still a massive difference scrolling slowly between 60 and 120hz
i love your videos but this test is only on 1 setting apps. you should try in homescreen, web browsing or another apps, and using the exact test with same framerate software detector. this kind of test mean nothing since apple preserve battery with lowering refresh rate in certain apps. but we also can see the true capability of 120hz in a proper apps with a proper testing software.
The reason the average refresh rate is lower is because the iPhone dynamically adjusts the refresh rate as the animation and scrolling speeds up. You can follow it with a stopwatch.

They told us in the stream that it's just 120 when you really scroll in order to safe batterylife. When you start scrolling its gonna be 60 and it's increasing within time the more you scroll. That's why its not 120Hz at the start. Maybe you didn't know that?

Apple explained in their keynote, briefly, about how this works on their phone. 120hz capable display is not false marketing. Throttling (automatic or manual) is something android phones engage in - as you talked about - but what Apple isn't giving you is that "force 120hz at all times".
S21 Ultra is using Adaptive RR. They just work differently. You can force 120hz on Samsung. But I don't think this is what he did. If he did and then posted this video then I don't know what to say, it's just stupid. This video is weird from beginning to end. Edit: Like someone else below said, "Samsungs screen goes down to 10hz~ when there is no scrolling. As soon as an input is detected it goes right back up to 120hz." iPhone 13 Pro/Pro Max uses 12 different refresh rates. 20Hz (8ms) 80Hz (12ms) 60Hz (16ms) 48Hz (20ms) 40Hz (25ms) 30Hz (33ms) 24Hz (41ms) 20Hz (50ms) 16Hz (62ms) 15Hz (66ms) 12Hz (83ms) 10Hz (100ms)
I dont think theres any game available for 120 fps yet even the phone has the advanced technology. Maybe around 90 fps the highest for game can support by now
It’s got to be something with the “pro motion”. For whatever reason swiping it like that doesn’t trigger the adaptive 120hz, which it should obviously. It’s possible they haven’t quite gotten the tuning perfect yet. Whenever they update games to support 120hz, that’ll be the decider in my eyes.

I think there's a ProMotion feature that Apple promotes with 'intelligent' or kind of 'adaptive' of the situation on the screen. If a setting scrolling menu only 80Hz, what makes screen to 120Hz? I drop by to Apple Store today and honestly... hoping there were some menus to lock 120Hz refresh rate
This video is BS, he didn’t test it correctly or account for the different implementation philosophies or really read up about the feature at all. Apple made it pretty clear and has said again that the refresh rate adapts dynamically to the speed of the fingers scrolling, as well as refresh rates phasing in and out at the beginning and end of the animation. It’s working exactly as advertised. I timed the time difference between the frames, and it also confirms it, as the iPhone starts at a much slower refresh rate at the beginning of the animation (4s/frame) before ramping it up really quick to 120hz (2.5s/frame), while the S21 Ultra has no such dynamic adjustment and only displays content at 120hz once it responds to touch (i.e. the same 2.5s/frame in the slowmo video).

I read Apple has a display driver that reads your finger speed and adjusts the refresh rate to match when you scroll. That sounds like what you are referring to in your second paragraph. If Samsung is jumping to the highest rate, how does their variations come into play vs. what Apple is doing?
@@efechief2659 Android adjusts the rate according to the content being displayed, like watching a 30 fps video will get you 30hz, idling will get you 10hz, and games will be usually at 60hz unless you’re playing a 120fps game. The iPhone goes through several of its refresh rate phases during an animation though, as well as the aforementioned scenarios for the S21, going (as an example) 10 up to 24, then to 30, then 60 and then 120hz while the user is using it rather than solely relying on content displayed and detection of touch input to go straight to 120hz
It is smoother than the previous iphone .but whats the point if they dnt implent that in a simple scrolling .hell thats where you mostly expereince the smoothness .even samsung s21 goes from 10-120hz variable refresh .they provided the panels to apple.scrolling is the only daily place you can experience the 120hz .
Can you download the PUBG Mobile game and try playing on both devices, running 90 frames per second, and transferring your gaming experience in terms of smoothness, temperature and battery
It’s a variable refresh rate up to 120, not 120 at all times so mathematically it means you are technically seeing a medium between 120 and 10. So probably 65-90 Hz
bro now all high end android flaghsip such as samsung,oneplus,xiaomi,huawei,vivo,oppo,honor and many more have used the new technology used as LTPO from 1hz-120hz depending on the situation...so it is really apple is a product manufacturer a fake and a scammer to the buyer🤣🤣🤣
Did you go to the accessibility setting and go to motion and then go to limit frame rate and turn it off? I’m pretty sure you didn’t do that that’s why
I think you got it wrong. Apple uses dynamic refresh rate technology that varies the refresh rates between 10 Hz and 120 Hz intelligently based on the content on the screen and the interaction with the screen. This saves more power than the S21 Ultra variable refresh rate does and leads to longer battery life.
Yes, but they set a 80Hz cap for the Settings, Photos, App Store, etc. Meaning that those apps can only get 80Hz at most, while third party apps can get 120Hz at most as long as they can.
Having an iPad Pro with 120hz I could immediately tell that my 13 pro max wasn’t delivering true 120hz. One thing that I found out was that when screen recording, the display instantly became 120hz. Try it by yourself and launch the screen recording. As soon as it starts recording the scrolling becomes super smooth. Weird glitch and I hope they fix this in a future update in which we get true 120hz all the time.
EDIT: Now on iOS 16.3 and nothing has changed.
Both are 120hz the difference you see is because Samsung has high touch sampling rate than iphone that's the actual reason

@@cassidywilliams7187 02:39, Chinese tech gamer guy is telling & showing the truth, maybe the iPhone 13 Pro Max can display 90hz display refresh rate on their Settings App & not just all the way up to 120hz maximum since Apple did said, from the launch event, that both iPhone 13 Pro & 13 Pro Max have "Adaptive Variable Display Refresh Rate" so it means that both will not just switch to either 2 fixed variable refresh rates(either 60hz or 120hz) dynamically but it can actually go lower from 10hz upto 120hz(10hz, 20hz, 30hz, 45hz, 60hz, 90hz or 120hz). That's the advantage of the adaptive variability of the display refresh rate since the animations & transitions are not crudely jumping from 60hz to 120hz but subtly slowly & smoothly transitioning the animations thru adaptive refresh rates so that the video being displayed looks so smooth & life-like. Apple did a good job since the display is not dynamically fixed to just either 2 display refresh rates(60hz & 120hz) but it can go from a range of 10hz upto 120hz.

iPhonedo made a video about it, as someone has already mentioned here.
There isn’t a bug in the video shown, the refresh rate adapts to the animation and speed of the finger (which Apple has also confirmed and also made pretty clear), so as the animation speeds up or slows down, so does the refresh rate. As i said in another comment somewhere else, I measured the times between the frames, and the iPhone 13 goes through different stages, the first ‘phase’ starts at 4s/frame, and goes up to 2.5s/frame at its fastest, which matches the S21 Ultra which always stays at 2.5s/frame.

I believe the issue your facing has to do with scrolling speed. Samsungs default scrolling speed is faster, I would suggest doing a game test, there you can set stuff the same like sensitivity and get a more accurate test. Also Apple's adaptive sync is more aggressive than Samsung meaning the default to a lower max fps depending on what your doing than Samsung to save battery but from what I've been able to tell with my own testing is the iPhone does have 120hz it just doesn't use the max rr all the time like Samsung does. All the time meaning Samsung always uses 120+ then when you stop scrolling and the screen is static it starts to turn the rr down.
No it's not scrolling speed. Apple doesn't run on 120Hz.
For more accurate test, use a FPS meter in the Iphone 👍

Your right
Apple fans logic: jumps are bigger, bigger means better!
They probably lower it to one save more battery and two to make the display last longer
So why tf are you paying for 120Hz display?? 🤣😂
The reason the average refresh rate is lower is because the iPhone dynamically adjusts the refresh rate as the animation and scrolling speeds up. You can follow it with a stopwatch. The iPhone starts at 4s/frame in the slow mo video, and speeds up to 2.5s/ frame when he’s scrolling really fast and continuously, exactly matching the S21 Ultra’s 2.5s/frame.
The S21 Ultra however, doesn’t adapt dynamically but instead ramps up its refresh rate straight to 120hz as soon as it detects touch input, hence the higher frame count.
It is not a surprise, and should have been a very simple observation to make while editing and reviewing the video before posting, that a phone that ramps up in phases (e.g. 10-24-60-80-120) averages lower than a phone that doesn’t ramp up in phases (I.e. 120-120-120-120-120).

Love your work mate ! You are truely a gem in this " reviewing phone "
This is very misleading. The iPhone 13 Pro’s display uses an “adaptive” refresh rate, meaning that the smoothness depends on the user’s finger speed (how fast they scroll) as well as the activity on the screen. This is in order to save a massive amount of battery life as having it constantly at 120htz would absolutely wreck your battery. Not to mention not all apps support 120htz and will have to be updated to take full advantage of this feature. Please do more research first next time.
Same like s21, using adaptive display.. And LTPO display.
Not sure but this is my take on it. You guys saw the Pro Motion segment in keynote? So when you touch the display it’s 120hz, but after you perform your action like scrolling, it will immediately reduce the frames from 120 to 90 or 80 even lower. That’s why Samsung and iPhone started at the same frames but Samsung provided locked 120hz throughout the entire scroll, while apple immediately reduced the frames after the initial touch and that’s why we can see the reduced number of frames compared to Samsung.
What's the point of doing that?

FPS counters have already confirmed that it can reach 120hz, as does your own video. iPhoneDo has also already made a video clearly showing the iPhone 13 Pro displaying every single frame of a 120fps video, which would not be possible without a >120hz capable Display. As Apple has already stated in their own Event AND in their own description of ProMotion, the LTPO display on the iPhone 13 Pro (Max) adjusts dynamically according to touch input and animation rather than locking in at 120hz once touch input is detected.
If your finger is moving slower, it will refresh at lower rates and vice versa. At the start and end sequences of the animation, ProMotion also ramps its refresh rate up and down from ~10 up to 120hz.
Now as for your flawed testing, you have completely failed to account for how Apple manages its refresh rate according to their statement and marketing by taking total frame count as proof of lack of 120hz. If you watch your own video, you can see how the iPhone 13 Pro Max slowly ramps up its refresh rate in the slow mo sections. It starts off at a lower frequency, taking 4 seconds per frame, and ramping it up until it reaches the same frame rate as the S21 Ultra at 2.5 seconds per frame at its fastest. Now if you watch the video again and test the S21 Ultra, you will see that it locks in at 120hz as soon as it detects touch input, taking 2.5s/frame; the same as the iPhone at its fastest. Taking total frame count for the iPhone here is like comparing the acceleration of two sports cars set to different gears: one will reach its top speed faster than the other, but that doesn’t mean that the other car can’t go just as fast.
Considering that you now have two sets of data, is it surprising that the S21 Ultra, which has no variations within its data, averages out at 120hz, while the iPhone 13 Pro Max averages out lower due to having differences within the data set that are lower than 120?
So what’s diff???
You feel at real life?
Hi, have you scrolling faster? The iPhone apparently tracks the speed of your finger and makes the scroll hz up to speed of you scroll
They switched it to 120 hz when we touch it..not when the speed of finger increases..
Which is retarded, if im scrolling slowly i dont want my display at a low hz, there is still a massive difference scrolling slowly between 60 and 120hz
@@duckduckdynasty7970 No, watch the keynote again. While scrolling it goes through 120Hz, 90Hz, 60Hz, and 10Hz once you stop
@@duckduckdynasty7970 I like how you say this as if it's a fact when it's clearly wrong lmao
I noticed this myself on my 13 Pro Max, scrolling slow it looks like 60hz but the faster you go the smoother. Just like they said in the keynote
Please check if iphone 14 pro have real 120hz in home screen or still 90hz. Thanks..
i love your videos but this test is only on 1 setting apps. you should try in homescreen, web browsing or another apps, and using the exact test with same framerate software detector. this kind of test mean nothing since apple preserve battery with lowering refresh rate in certain apps. but we also can see the true capability of 120hz in a proper apps with a proper testing software.
The reason the average refresh rate is lower is because the iPhone dynamically adjusts the refresh rate as the animation and scrolling speeds up. You can follow it with a stopwatch. The iPhone starts at 4s/frame in the slow mo video, and speeds up to 2.5s/ frame when he’s scrolling really fast and continuously, exactly matching the S21 Ultra’s 2.5s/frame.
The S21 Ultra however, doesn’t adapt dynamically but instead ramps up its refresh rate straight to 120hz as soon as it detects touch input, hence the higher frame count.
It is not a surprise, and should have been a very simple observation to make while editing and reviewing the video before posting, that a phone that ramps up in phases (e.g. 10-24-60-80-120) averages lower than a phone that doesn’t ramp up in phases (I.e. 120-120-120-120-120).
Do you have a video for s21 ultra how to set 120 refresh rate on all the time and not adaptive?

@@ohyeah5172 i think its not unlocked yet
How about if you try while gaming or playing videos ?
They told us in the stream that it's just 120 when you really scroll in order to safe batterylife. When you start scrolling its gonna be 60 and it's increasing within time the more you scroll. That's why its not 120Hz at the start. Maybe you didn't know that?

Apple is actually using dynamic refresh rate which adjusts the refresh rate according to what's on the screen and the interaction with the screen. The refresh rate will vary between 10 Hz and 120 Hz.
And so does Samsung bro.
@@jeetadwani6683 Samsung S21 Ultra varies the refresh rate based on the content on the screen only while iPhone 13 Pro and Pro Max vary the refresh rate intelligently based on not only the content on the screen but also the interaction with the display.

Because if you are...adaptive refresh isn't working properly right now and it is stuck on 120hz no matter what, which isn't an accurate representation. My Samsung's battery life is way worse than usual because of this.
I just got my 13 pro today , I noticed right way that it’s not 120hz , definitely lot of lag on the screen compared to Samsungs
I didn’t bought it i tried it on store its really felt slower than samsung but it felt smooth due to animations but using the galaxy felt the phone faster but the animation a little bit worse by 10% i think in one ui 4 animation will be smooth
Really?
*Apple has real adaptive FPS,* which means that if you move the picture slower it will not reach 120 Hz, so this video makes no sense.
Apple explained in their keynote, briefly, about how this works on their phone. 120hz capable display is not false marketing. Throttling (automatic or manual) is something android phones engage in - as you talked about - but what Apple isn't giving you is that "force 120hz at all times".
Apple doesn't give you many options at all
S21 Ultra is using Adaptive RR. They just work differently. You can force 120hz on Samsung. But I don't think this is what he did. If he did and then posted this video then I don't know what to say, it's just stupid. This video is weird from beginning to end.
Edit: Like someone else below said, "Samsungs screen goes down to 10hz~ when there is no scrolling. As soon as an input is detected it goes right back up to 120hz."
iPhone 13 Pro/Pro Max uses 12 different refresh rates.
20Hz (8ms)
80Hz (12ms)
60Hz (16ms)
48Hz (20ms)
40Hz (25ms)
30Hz (33ms)
24Hz (41ms)
20Hz (50ms)
16Hz (62ms)
15Hz (66ms)
12Hz (83ms)

But the iPhone is just false advertising, I am disapointed.
It’s got to be something with the “pro motion”. For whatever reason swiping it like that doesn’t trigger the adaptive 120hz, which it should obviously. It’s possible they haven’t quite gotten the tuning perfect yet. Whenever they update games to support 120hz, that’ll be the decider in my eyes.
And here we are a year later and the iPhones 120Hz still does not feel as smooth as androids.

No it’s a pretty bad review by all measures. His methodology and testing is completely flawed and has completely disregarded Apple’s explanation on how a ProMotion works in their own event and in documentation, and has obviously done 0 research into the issue before posting this.
The reason the average refresh rate is lower is because the iPhone dynamically adjusts the refresh rate as the animation and scrolling speeds up. You can follow it with a stopwatch. The iPhone starts at 4s/frame in the slow mo video, and speeds up to 2.5s/ frame when he’s scrolling really fast and continuously, exactly matching the S21 Ultra’s 2.5s/frame.

I think there's a ProMotion feature that Apple promotes with 'intelligent' or kind of 'adaptive' of the situation on the screen. If a setting scrolling menu only 80Hz, what makes screen to 120Hz? I drop by to Apple Store today and honestly... hoping there were some menus to lock 120Hz refresh rate
This video is BS, he didn’t test it correctly or account for the different implementation philosophies or really read up about the feature at all. Apple made it pretty clear and has said again that the refresh rate adapts dynamically to the speed of the fingers scrolling, as well as refresh rates phasing in and out at the beginning and end of the animation. It’s working exactly as advertised.
I timed the time difference between the frames, and it also confirms it, as the iPhone starts at a much slower refresh rate at the beginning of the animation (4s/frame) before ramping it up really quick to 120hz (2.5s/frame), while the S21 Ultra has no such dynamic adjustment and only displays content at 120hz once it responds to touch (i.e. the same 2.5s/frame in the slowmo video). So his testing methodology is completely wrong.
There isn’t a way to lock the display at 120hz though, but you will get to 120hz if you continuously scroll.

Yes, but they set a 80Hz cap for the Settings, Photos, App Store, etc.
Meaning that those apps can only get 80Hz at most, while third party apps can get 120Hz at most as long as they can.
