It‘s good to call out on Apple for delivering subpar displays in a „premium“ product. The non-pro phones being 60Hz only in 2024 just to upsell to the pro phones is ridiculous.

I wonder if the display is technically capable of 120hz+ and they just locked it in software.

iirc the display engines are built into the AXX chipsets. As only pro phones get a pro chip, Apple probably does not add the capabilities to drive displays at higher refresh rates to the non-pro silicon. So even if the display itself could go higher, the hardware to drive it is missing, not locked in software.

If Apple is so worried about a better display eating into pro model sales, then it really isn’t much of a problem model.

At a starting price of $799, the Apple iPhone 16 costs more than many flagships, but the 60 Hz OLED display cannot even outperform the screens of certain mid-range smartphones.
I’m confused. The article sounds like they’re trying to pass judgement on the display based on the cost of the entire phone.
It would kind of make sense if it was a 6” portable display.
