Technology ProMotion is without any exaggeration one of the main attractions of the iPhones of the Pro series from recent years. The smoother display of moving images, even when scrolling through the system, is really noticeable thanks to the 120Hz refresh rate compared to the standard 60Hz of the basic iPhones – especially when you see a 60Hz and 120Hz display next to each other. However, a higher refresh rate logically brings with it higher demands on energy consumption, which should also be reflected in the overall endurance of the phone. But what is the reality? Or when does it pay off? ProMotion turn it off in an attempt to extend the phone's battery life, and when does it make no sense to turn it off?

This is exactly the question that Macworld asked itself, deciding to test it specifically. ProMotion na iPhonech 15 Pro and 15 Pro MaxThe test results are more than interesting. The search for answers to the above questions began with a battery test in the Geekbench 4 application, which was simply run once with the active ProMotion and the second time with it inactive (specifically turned off in Accessibility. The result was that the battery life according to Geekbench was ProMotion just 5% better, which is quite negligible considering the overall battery life of the iPhone. If the battery life of the phone were, for example, 10 hours, turning it off ProMotion would only add 30 minutes, which is definitely worth the poor user experience nestoy. In order to extend the battery life during normal use of the iPhone, ProMotion there is no point in turning it off.

But when, on the contrary ProMotion the point of turning it off is to play games, so if you're maxbattery life simulation. When playing games that offer full 120Hz support (such as Call of Duty: Mobile, PUBM Mobile, and so on), the iPhone's battery life with the display on is ProMotion about half lower than when ProMotion turned off and the games run in maximu at 60Hz. So, for example, if you are traveling and know that you want to shorten your trip by playing games, but at the same time you need to iPhone kept in operation as long as possible, shutdown ProMotion It definitely makes sense here, because the degraded user experience will be compensated by significantly longer battery life.
