Apple will return to the market with many news expected . According to the Korean magazine The Elect , the colossus of Cupertino will implement the technology LTPO on the Pro versions of the iPhone series 13. The technology adopted so far by iPhone for its displays is LTPS (Low temperature polycrystalline silicon) with an update rate that stops at 60 Hz, which you will continue to use on iPhone anyway 13 standard.

Apple Turn: LTPO display a 120 Hz

The new ones panels with OLED LTPO technology will allow a higher energy saving ranging from 5 to 15%, feature that will help Apple to implement higher frequency of updates without impacting too much on energy consumption. With the LTPO technology a layer of oxide is added to the panel that requires a more elaborate processing and consequently a higher cost. Another important news, long awaited by Apple users, concerns the refresh rate of iPhone displays. Although always of excellent quality, the displays implemented on Apple devices stop at a refresh rate of 60 Hz , little if we consider that the competition goes even with panels up to 144 Hz in extreme cases. Apple is ready to increase the refresh rate , again only for Pro versions, up to 120 Hz , bridging the gap with other devices on the market.

To supply the new LTPO panels at 120 Hz will still be once Samsung . The collaboration between the two brands has been known for years, and the Korean giant is, for the moment, the only manufacturer able to supply panels for the iPhone units. According to the report, Apple will implement LTPO displays at 120 Hz on all smartphones, from 2022 for iPhone series 14 .
