According to a report emerging from the land of Apple’s long-time suppliers, the entire iPhone 17 series will finally reap the benefits of a 120Hz OLED panel.
Apple has played a relatively slow (read: stingy) innovation game when it comes to display upgrades on its phones. The company took its own sweet time embracing OLED screens, then did the same with getting rid of the ugly notch, and still has a lot of ground to cover at adopting high refresh rate panels.
The status could finally change next year. According to Korea-based ET News, which cites an industry source, Apple will fit an LTPO (low-temperature polycrystalline oxide) screen across the entire iPhone 17 series, including the rumored “slim” version and the entry-point model.
It has been pretty confounding to see Android phones costing nearly half as much, but delivering a 120Hz screen. Plus, they’ve topped it off with a more modern look and faster charging perks. However, it seems Apple will at least make one major course correction in 2025.
