iPhone 17 just tipped for this Pro feature after years of waiting

Apple iPhone 16 held in the hand.

The iPhone 17 may finally get a feature we’ve been begging Apple to add for years. According to a new report from the supply chain (via 9to5Mac), the non-Pro models may finally offer a “high refresh rate,” instead of being stuck at a paltry 60Hz for another generation.

High refresh rate has been a Pro-exclusive feature for several years now, with Pro and Pro Max models offering an adaptive 1-120Hz refresh rate — powered by an LTPO display panel. That’s pretty standard as far as flagship phones go, but phones like iPhone 16 and 16 Plus have always missed out for reasons unknown. Thankfully that might be about to change.
