The iPhone 13 range could have at least two big screen upgrades if leaks prove accurate.
The iPhone 13 range is expected in September, and based on the rumors so far it might not be massively different to the iPhone 12 range, but we are expecting some changes, including at least one significant screen upgrade for some models. And it’s the screen that we’re focusing on here. Below, you’ll find every iPhone 13 screen rumor so far, along with a look at how likely each is, and the big important question of whether Apple will finally make a phone with a 120Hz refresh rate screen. So if you’re all about the visuals, read on, and see whether the iPhone 13 or one of its siblings is likely to be your next phone. By far the screen rumor we’ve heard most about the iPhone 13 is that it (or at least some models in the range) might have a 120Hz refresh rate. This would be a big upgrade and is arguably one of the most exciting things we’ve heard about any aspect of the iPhone 13 range, since it should make interactions feel smoother. But will it happen? It’s too early to say for sure, but at the moment it’s looking very likely, as numerous sources have said as much numerous times. We first heard of the possibility back in October, and no sources so far have specifically suggested that there won’t be 120Hz refresh rates. Better yet, Apple is thought to be equipping the phones with LTPO (low-temperature polycrystalline oxide) displays, which allow for a variable refresh rate, so they can automatically switch to a lower refresh rate when 120Hz wouldn’t be beneficial, saving battery life in the process.
