The iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Plus are at the center of the rumor mill as they are said to feature more updated display technologies. Industry reports suggest that Apple plans to introduce the coveted Always-On and 120Hz ProMotion displays to its base iPhone models as well. These potential innovations promise an even smoother and more responsive user experience for Apple enthusiasts worldwide.
The evolution of iPhone displays has always demonstrated innovation and technological excellence. Since introducing the 120Hz ProMotion display with the iPad Pro in 2017, Apple has continuously worked to improve the user experience. Now it seems that another long-awaited development is on the way that could make the iPhone 17 a truly outstanding device.
Display innovations for the iPhone 17 and 17 Plus: ProMotion and Always-On technology in focus
According to a report According to The Elec, both the iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Plus will feature OLED displays based on LPTO panels. These panels not only promise outstanding image quality but also allow the refresh rate to be adjusted up to 120 Hz, which is known as ProMotion. One of the most exciting speculations is the introduction of always-on displays, which can also be reduced to a minimum refresh rate of just 1 Hz when needed thanks to the flexibility of the LPTO panels.
Implementation challenges: Apple's collaboration with BOE
However, the implementation of these plans reportedly depends on Apple's display manufacturer BOE. While BOE has already supplied LTPO screens to other manufacturers, the collaboration with Apple is still on shaky ground. There is speculation that BOE may not be ready in time for the production of the iPhone 17. Despite these challenges, there is still a possibility that BOE could be able to meet the tech giant's requirements with additional training and support from Apple.
