It's been an unpleasant couple of days for iPhone 16 Pro owners. Yesterday, we reported an issue involving dead spots on the iPhone 16 Pro touchscreen. Following that kerfuffle, iPhone users claim their device is limited to an 80Hz refresh rate when it is supposed to run at a silky smooth 120Hz.
The report comes from prominent smartphone leaker Ice Universe on X, who posted a video demonstrating the screen refresh rate issue. They used a refresh rate counter, visible in the shot the whole time, to track everything. It appears that the phone isn't running at its promised 120Hz throughout the video.
