When opening apps, iPhone Pros run at 120Hz, but when scrolling through content feeds, they drop to 80Hz. The transition between these refresh rates can cause a noticeable difference and even some screen tearing. Most of our interactions with the phone is scrolling, which is only at 80Hz. This is probably done to save battery, but Apple should give users the option to choose. For example, adding a toggle to enable 120Hz across the entire system would be a good solution.
I dont get people defending this because of battery life I payed for 120hz and i whant 120hz when scrolling Yes it dosent effect me in anyway but it annoys me. I switched from the s24 and it just feelt smother and faster because of the constant 120hz Dont tell, yeah but battery life… fuck that. Get a Samsung or any 120hz android and try it. I hope this will be a bigger story in the future and that apple changes it.
These apple sheep justifying 80 hertz is crazy. Y'all would buy a V8 and would be ok with only being allowed to use 6 cylinders for "longevity" or "you cant tell a difference" "who needs that anyways" 💀
It's crazy! If you're paying for 120Hz, you are assuming all screen activity is running at 120Hz, only to be getting 80Hz! ProMotion is one of the big selling points for going Pro! How many would go pro if it meant just 80Hz instead of 60Hz!?
The class action lawsuit will result to 20.00 USD per person. When it should be a brand new phone. I’m so sick of companies effing the consumer I no longer purchase anything except essentials. I’m tired of poor QC.. no one takes the blame. Tired of returns. Tired of going to stores only to see an inferior product that is in no way worth its msrp.
This is just ProMotion, they demonstrated the variable refresh rate of the LTPO display. It changes refresh rate as needed during animations so that the image always looks smooth while using less frames, and therefore less battery. It can even drop to 1hz if you're just reading an article or a static image. It will definitely run at 120fps on games and whatnot. Also, I find it difficult to believe people are genuinely having any difficulty using iPhones for their lower refresh rate. It's already funny enough they felt like pro models were choppy out of the placebo effect, but I use a 144hz monitor all the time and have a 120hz iPad, but I've never cared that my phone is at 60 hertz.

why its 80hz screen refresh rate, because it minimizes the battery consumption overtime and to save up more energy, rather than being 120hz at most of the time which in case drains the battery so fast
If someone wants longer battery they can restrict their phones to 60hz. If someone wants a smoother experience it is their decision to whether use 120hz or not rather than the company deciding on their behalf. If i want 120hz i want my phone to be 120hz not 80hz.
