Entire iPhone 12 lineup will miss out on 120Hz displays, says Ming-chi Kuo

15 September 2020
Apple will start using high refresh rate displays on its phones next year, though, claims the analyst. The 5.4" iPhone 12s will have narrower notches.

Sam, 15 Sep 2020Actually the battery excuse is pretty good as in real life ... moreYes you get around 30 to 45min less, but to many people the high refresh rate is worth the sacrifice. To the others, they simply turn down the screen to 60Hz, and voila. Stop looking for excuses, we ripped Samsung with negative comments for skipping it in the vanilla (aka stupid) note 20.

    Mart , 16 Sep 2020Apple is made using Samsung and other android manufacturers... moreI said that in terms of OS. There is no android company near as good as apple in terms of software support.
    Hardware is good for most of the companies

            besides its pushing QHD@120hz, So That's an impressive result.
            Plus its got 65W charging which can get you 50% in 10-15min.

            Iphone will take around 2hr for full charge with that outdated 18W charging.
            People are simply not interested in using a phone with ancient 60hz and ancient fast charging technology. Besides, No one takes what you have to say seriosusly on this forum.
            You've been long exposed as a trrrrolll who keeps changing names and is sporting a 50$ smartphone.

                          Keeping a phone for 5 years, that means it would be the 6s with a very outdated design etc.

If they were really good, then people would have bought those instead of an iPhone. Not to mention iPhones weren't that popular 5 years ago.

                            Of course though, we expect some flagship features on an expensive phone. Skipping 120Hz is no excuse for a $1000 phone. I don't mind 50W wireless charging or similar tech.

                              Apple doesn’t need to play catch-up. They never really have lol. Sure they kept LCDs for the longest time while others were doing OLED, but their LCDs were easily the best in the market, even beating out many OLED panels. Lower resolutions never made their phones any less usable. 4K is impressive on a 6 inch screen, but it isn’t much more visually impressive than HD or 2K. It’s a spec-sheet ornament more than anything else. As for Apple keeping the notch, I’m glad they are. Very functional, recognizable, and not gimmicky.

                                Lol. Apple invented this whole market. To say they don’t innovate is such a reach. Samsung has mastered the foldable phone, but it’s also something I would never buy. And even if Apple makes it, I wouldn’t buy it unless it was their only iPhone. Seems to be more about the novelty of the folding itself rather than providing profound functionality. Y’all need to chill.

                                    Oh what a shock people slagging of Apple again. Really need to get get a grip. You all must have short memories. If it wasn’t for Apple Android would not exist. In 2007 Apple released the first smartphone guess what a year later Android copies first Galaxy a blatant copy of iPhone. So there’s the real facts
