Apple planning to consider high refresh rate screens for all iPhone 17 series models

Apple is known to make some of the best and the premium smartphones. But for years, the tech giant has limited high-refresh-rate screens to the “Pro” models. However, a new report suggests that the Cupertino-based tech giant may be planning to change that with the iPhone 17.

If reports are to be believed, Apple is considering introducing high-refresh-rate screens to the “Pro” models of the iPhone 17. Apple is most likely to use LTPO panels for all iPhone 17 series models. The non-Pro models in the iPhone 15 and the iPhone 16 series already use LTPS panels, which have a maximum refresh rate of just 60Hz. Apart from a high refresh rate, LTPO panels also bring support for always-on display.

A few months ago, Apple analyst Ross Young also said that the iPhone 17 and the much anticipated iPhone 17 Air will feature ProMotion OLED screens.

There are rumours that suggest that the entire iPhone 17 series will have an anti-reflective display, which could be more scratch-resistant than the Ceramic Shield Apple is using on the current iPhone models. As it turns out, Apple may also be planning to ditch the iPhone 17 Plus and introduce the iPhone 17 “Slim” or “Air”, which will be an entirely new model.
