- A new leak suggests that the iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max will feature 120Hz displays.
- The first developer beta for iOS 14 introduces a new setting that allows users to limit their screens to 60 frames per second, which was previously only available on iPad Pro with ProMotion.
- Apple is expected to launch four new iPhone 12 models this fall, all with OLED displays.
This fall, Apple will launch at least four new iPhone models, all of which are expected to have OLED displays and 5G support. When the new coronavirus outbreak was still spreading uncontrollably in Asia, there was some concern about whether Apple would be forced to delay its new phones for a few weeks or even a month or two, but the latest reports seem to suggest that Apple is once again on track to launch iPhone 12 in September.
As has been the custom in recent years, we think we already know almost everything there is to know about all the features and specs of the upcoming iPhone, but the leaks are still coming in with surprising revelations about Apple’s early 5G devices. For example, on Friday morning, the Samsung Ice Universe leaker tweeted that a trusted source claims that the iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max will feature 120Hz refresh rate displays.
Android phones with refresh rates above 60Hz are a dime a dozen today, from the Galaxy S20 to the OnePlus 8 Pro and gaming phones like the Asus ROG Phone II and the Razer Phone 2. Meanwhile, Apple has yet to experiment with higher refresh rates on its mobile devices, but Ice Universe has a pretty strong track record:
Adding fuel to the fire, MacRumors notes that the first iOS 14 developer beta, which was released earlier this week after the main address of WWDC 2020, has a new accessibility setting in the Motion menu called “Frame Rate Limit” which allows iPhone users set the maximum frame rate on their screens to 60 frames per second. Recent iPad models, which are capable of 120Hz refresh rates, already have this setting, which seems to imply that Apple will also be bringing the display update to their phones in the near future, possibly as early as this fall.
Based on previous leaks, Apple will launch a 5.4-inch and 6.1-inch iPhone 12, both with aluminum frames and two cameras, as well as a 6.1-inch iPhone 12 Pro and a 6.7-inch iPhone 12 Pro Max, with stainless steel. steel frames, 3 cameras and LiDAR scanners – this fall. The trusted Ice Universe source says that only the last two will feature 120Hz ProMotion displays, though all four will get a boost with OLED displays.
It is at least two and a half months before Apple removes the curtain from the iPhone 12 series, there will surely be many more leaks for us before the company has the opportunity to take the stage.
