Apple's iPhone 16 displays leak - bigger on the Pros, same 60Hz on the vanillas

It's still early, but the display specs of next year's iPhone lineup have surfaced from supply chain sources. According to the leak, the iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max will get a size bump - 6.27-inch and 6.86-inch, both 120Hz LTPO panels. The size of the 16 Pro Max display sounds a bit hard to belive so take it with a grain of salt.

It's another story entirely with the vanilla iPhone 16 and 16 Plus - expect the same 6.12-inch and 6.69-inch sizes and the same 60Hz refresh rate. This is seemingly confirmed by industry insider Ross Young who says Pro Motion is only coming to the vanilla models in 2025.

Getting back to the 2024 iPhone 16 models, expect Dynamic Island on all models, unsurprisingly.

Legacy iPhone buyers may not mind going another year with a lowly 60Hz display but Apple's expensive base iPhones' displays are beginning to look uncompetitive in comparison to Android's flagship and midrange lineup.

But apple’s 60hz feels like 120hz. I have used Samsung 120 hz and now I’m using iPhone XR with 60hz. NO DIFFERENCE. Bcoz apple’s animations are smoother unlike android.
