In a new exclusive and reliable Korean website, ET News revealed that the super smooth 120 Hz ProMotion screens, which were touch and go for the iPhone 12 line, will now reach the iPhone 13 line. But only for the more expensive models .

ET News explains that ProMotion will be restricted to iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max because Apple will not install expensive LTPO (Low Temperature Polycrystalline Oxide) panels on iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Mini. The LTPO panels compensate for the high battery consumption of 120 Hz, allowing dynamic update rates of up to 1 Hz, for tasks such as reading e-mail and browsing the web.

The problem with this is that the iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Mini will not be cheap phones. Through stealthy cuts, Apple has quietly raised the price of the iPhone 12 to $ 870 for the same package as the iPhone 11 from $ 699 and this puts it in a price range where almost all Android rivals already have 120Hz panels . Notably, the Samsung Galaxy S20 FE has a 120 Hz panel and costs just $ 699.

Yes, given what we already know about the expected design changes on the iPhone 13, 5G improvements, increased storage and security updates, the omission of ProMotion can be something that buyers can ignore. That said, considering the price increases that Apple is introducing in all areas today, the argument that fans must compromise on features commonly provided by competitors is becoming more difficult to swallow.
