24 August 2020
Apple can't seem to source its driver ICs for the 120Hz OLED panels.

James Whister, 24 Aug 2020Just asking, in daily use, does 120z really matter? And wha... moreIt makes a world of difference. Not only scrolling, gaming and overall the phone feels a lot faster.

    I guess they are afraid to have so many downsides, that it would not be a 'good launch'.

      I think Apple fans will be more than happy to wait couple of weeks more to get the 120Hz screen. Or next wait will be long.
      Wait 1 month or 1 year to get 120Hz ?

        Just asking, in daily use, does 120z really matter? And what's there except smooth scrolling?

          On the other hand more pleasant scroling and browsing is imho more important than some hal-fa$$ed PC port.

            120hz refresh will be good when scrolling thru text and websites.

            Not much content, videos or games will be at 120hz. Unless Apple do it. They know. When the King starts it, the peasants will follow.

              There is no issue for its regular user but for gamer its a big issue. Pubg soon will release 90fps and later some time the 120fps.

                                  The ones who were waiting for the iphone 12 Pro, can go and buy the Note 20 Ultra or something.

                                    Anonymous, 24 Aug 2020Yes, the poco f2 pro should've be 90hz, Well, Realme 6 is a 250EUR (the 4GB variant) phone and it has 90Hz display. But I read and watch reviews about it, that is not the same feeling as the more expensive phones who have 90Hz+ displays. Also, not all apps take advantage of that higher refresh rate. So..what's the catch in here? We have 90Hz displays or not?
