If standard 14 doesn’t have 120hz display nor lose the notch how is it an upgrade from 13?

You know, like 99% of non flagship Android phones have. But honestly, I don't care. When it'll be 120Hz LTPO, great, but until that becomes standard, I just don't care. I'm used to 144Hz everything on my desktop and I don't miss it on my phone at all. 60Hz is perfectly fine for as long as everything is butter smooth at those 60Hz. And it is on iOS even with 3 years old model. So, I can't really complain and rush for 120Hz just to brag about it here on GSMArena.

        Not the punch hole on iPhones lol, already disappointed.

          Apple should give the normal iPhones 65HZ refresh rate. My previous LG V10 had 65Hz and it was smooth like 90HZ

If it was so important I'd rush for iPhone 13 Pro to get ProMotion display. But I just don't care. Locked 120Hz is imo pointless waste of energy. But what do I know, I'm just a gamer who has been using 144Hz for years on PC...

                          While android is going to under display camera and 90% of Android phones have minimum 120Hz screen, crapple is going for a useless punch hole and 60Hz

                              So the next iPhone will have 6GB RAM and a 60hz display. At this point I do not want even to make fun of iPhone users, as Apple is about to do that for all of us

                                Ooops, this literally means there will be no upgrade from current vanilla 13, as ugly as that notch is, people are fine with it.

                                  When a single or a pill-shaped punch hole isn't enough, Apple goes all out and put both of them. Is Apple going to put an ultrawide camera on the front anyway? I can see the wide camera and 3D ToF going inside the pill-shaped punch hole, but what kind of function the single punch hole will provide?

                                    Have experience with BOE equipped phones... they tend to underperform...

                                      No two ways about it, this will not be a good result. All iPhone's will need HRR of some some sort this year. Not for usability benefits as far as I'm concerned, I've actually turned it off on my 13 Pro, I wasn't noticing any real difference, and can apparently eek out a tad extra battery life with it being off.

                                      No, Apple need it to avoid all the backlash that they will get otherwise, just look at the comments below, this is only a rumor at this point and people are already loosing their minds.

                                        yeah keep stealing buyers' money by selling low spec products for profit.
