Apple-Rumors: all iPhone 17s will be equipped with 120 Hz screens in 2025 228 comments
At Apple A long-awaited turning point is looming: LTPO technology, which was previously installed exclusively on iPhones Pro, will be implemented in all versions with the iPhone 17 next year and will also guarantee 120 frame repetitions per second in the basic models.
LTPO for all iPhone 17
The change would eliminate one of the biggest criticisms leveled at the current iPhone 16 during testing. As the Korean newspaper ETNews writes, Apple plans LTPO OLED panels will be installed in all four models of the iPhone 17. LTPO allows the screens to dynamically switch between different refresh rates. The iPhone maker calls the feature that enables the iPhones’ 120Hz mode ProMotion.
In addition to the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max, the thinner iPhone 17 “Air” and the regular iPhone 17 would also have ProMotion.

Promotion becomes more and more likely
This is the second rumor about ProMotion in the new iPhone 17, after Ross Young previously promised MacRumors a 120Hz display in September.
ProMotion so far only for Pro
This is a turning point in the Apple-Group era: Until now, the company has taken the name very literally and reproduces high refresh rates exclusively on Pro devices such as the iPad Pro, MacBook Pro and the iPhone Pro. The base iPhone now also has access to ProMotion, Apple changes here its strategy for the first time. Since the iPhone 13 Pro 2021, 120Hz mode is one of the main differences between the models. Since the iPhone 14 Pro, ProMotion can also go down to 1 Hz and thus provide an always-on display.
The iPad Air 2025 perhaps also with ProMotion?
So far, only the iPad Pro with the old exclusive function has received a longer rest: installed since 2017 Apple There are already fast screens here, the iPad Air is currently only available until 60 Hz. New iPad Airs are in discussion for early next year, although it is not yet clear what innovations customers can expect. It would not be totally unthinkable that the turning point begins with the Air in the spring and continues with the iPhone in the fall.
