iPhone 17 family to have big display upgrades

The iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Slim (which will replace the Plus model since it's not selling well at all), iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max will all come with significant display upgrades next year, according to Ross Young of Display Supply Chain Consultants.

Young says the iPhone 17 will finally get 120 Hz refresh rate and an LTPO OLED panel, meaning it will be able to vary the refresh rate down to very low rates, possibly even 1 Hz. This has been a very long time coming, since Apple still, even with the iPhone 16 family, gatekeeps high refresh rate for the Pro models.

Alongside the iPhone 17, the iPhone 17 Slim will also get 120 Hz and LTPO, though it's less surprising in its case since its slimness will make it a sort of halo product (or at least Apple hopes so), and you can't have one of those with a basic high-end feature like this missing.

The iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max will get under display Face ID, apparently. This has long been rumored, and now it looks like we're just one year away from it actually arriving on the market. This means the Dynamic Island may go, or at least change accordingly, since the cutout in the screen will be way smaller, only housing the selfie camera. Thus, the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max will look a lot more like flagship Android devices do now.
