Recently it seemed to have leaked the fact that Apple would transport the "ProMotion" banner to the iPhone as well, and that is that there are not a few users who have long demanded that the iPhone panels catch up with the rivals in the high-end in terms of to the refreshment rates.
Apparently by the year 2022, when the arrival of the iPhone 14 is expected, all the iPhone devices launched will mount an OLED panel with refresh rates of 120 Hz. In this way, Apple will implement this technology in all its iPhone without exceptions at the price level, did you expect something like that?
Meanwhile, since TheElec They point out that in 2021 they will only see the arrival of technology ProMotion 120 Hz the iPhone 13 in its version of the «premium» range, that is, the iPhone 13 Pro and the iPhone 13 Pro Max, while the iPhone 13 and the iPhone 13 Mini will keep an OLED panel but in this case without refresh rates as high as their older brother. According to the source, the information comes from the manufacturing departments of LG, which in theory assembles a large part of the OLED panels of the iPhone. Curious that Apple will choose to keep the ProMotion version only for the "Pro" versions during the iPhone 13.
We are not clear at this point how Apple will be able to limit the ProMotion feature between the iPhone 13 and the iPhone 13 Pro, we do not know if there will be differences at the hardware level or simply the Cupertino company will limit itself to making software restrictions, a peculiarity. That would not be the first or the last time it has done to "cut back" capabilities to its lower-cost devices. In any case, many users are not taking into account the impact that the refresh rate will have on the autonomy of the device, will they end up deactivating it? Everything points to yes.
