While we’re still months away from the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro, and Apple’s best iPhone, the iPhone 15 Pro is still only seven months old, a new report claims that next year’s iPhone 17 could be the best mainstream iPhone in years thanks to one key upgrade.
In a report that reveals the Apple Watch X could get a major OLED display upgrade, Korean outlet TheElec also stated that “All four models of next year's iPhone 17 series plan to use LTPO OLED.” LTPO OLED tech was first introduced to the Apple Watch with the Series 5 and is also now found in Apple’s “Pro” iPhone models. It enables a variable refresh rate as low as 1Hz that powers Apple’s Always-On display and the iPhone’s 120Hz ProMotion display. The variable refresh allows your iPhone to display the Always-On wallpaper without chewing through your battery, while the faster refresh rate powers smoother animations, scrolling, and gaming.
