Ever since the launch of the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max, Apple has differentiated its best iPhone displays from the non-Pro models in a couple of key ways. Support for an always-on display and a 120Hz ProMotion variable refresh rate give Apple's two high-end iPhones features that the standard models can't match and the lineups continued to be separated in that way through 2023's iPhone 15 launch as well. But a new report suggests that changes are afoot — although they won't come in time for this year's iPhone 16 models.
The change, according to The Elec, will see Apple bring its best display features down the lineup and to the iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Plus, two phones that are likely to be announced in 2025 alongside the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max. If true, buyers of new iPhones in around 18 months won't have to choose the costliest models just to get cool features like a display that displays information even when turned off and a silky smooth scrolling experience.
