The new iPhone 13 is coming, and with it a whole host of speculations. One of them is the use of LPTO technology in anticipation of a higher refresh rate ProMotionAnalyst Ross Young confirms this speculation and believes that Apple it will de facto start another small display revolution, as it will help this technology to be dominant on the market within two years, both by using it and by making people "monkey" it. But what exactly is LTPO?

LTPO is a layer in OLED panels that enables the setting of an adaptive refresh rate. We can see it, for example, in Apple Watch Series 5, which have an AlwaysOn display mainly thanks to this technology. You have probably already heard that the watch can change the refresh rate to 1 Hz and save battery. Another example is a situation where you have 120 Hz turned on on your device. But you will not use it if you are watching a video that has a classic 30 fps. Here, the refresh rate is reduced again to 30 Hz and saves battery. Analyst Ross Young, who works at Display Supply Chain Consultants (DSCC) shared a post on Twitter in which, as we mention above, he presents his idea that LTPO displays will overtake classic AMOLED panels in popularity by the end of 2023.

If the rumors are true, the iPhone 13 could feature panels with a refresh rate of 120 Hz, at a price of minilittle impact on battery life. Technology ProMotion not for Apple nothing new and we have seen higher refresh rates on iPad Pros for years. The big difference, however, is that these tablets are equipped with LCD displays. However, according to sources, the consumption of the new iPhones should be approximately 15% lower than the current flagships Applu. Would you consider a higher refresh rate for the iPhone 13?
