TL;DR
  • Apple has announced the iPhone 17, and it finally offers a 120Hz display.
  • This comes years after Android phones and Apple’s own Pro iPhones adopted high refresh rate screens.
  • The iPhone 17 otherwise offers an LTPO display with Ceramic Shield 2 protection.

Apple has just announced the iPhone 17, and one of the most notable additions is a feature Android phones have had since the 2010s. Yep, Apple has finally brought a high refresh rate screen to the standard iPhone.

Apple says the iPhone 17 has a 6.3-inch LTPO OLED screen with a 120Hz refresh rate. Much like Pro iPhones and rival Android flagships, the screen can dip down to as low as 1Hz for use-cases like the always-on display.
