iPhone 18e Won't Get ProMotion Display, Says Leaker
MacRumors • • technology
Key Points:
- Apple's upcoming low-cost iPhone 18e will retain the same 60Hz LTPS TFT display as the current iPhone 17e, lacking the 120Hz ProMotion refresh rate and Always-On display found in higher-end models.
- This contrasts with competing Android phones at similar price points, which often feature 120Hz screens.
- A Korean report indicates that Apple will not adopt LTPO panels, capable of dynamic refresh rates from 1Hz to 120Hz, until the fourth-generation model expected in early 2028.
- The transition to LTPO+ technology, offering better power efficiency, is planned for higher-end models like the iPhone Air and foldable iPhone in 2028, potentially delaying wider adoption in standard models.
- If LTPO+ development faces delays, the rollout of advanced display technology to the iPhone 19e and other models may be postponed.
