On January 15, foreign media MacRumors reported that analyst Jeff Pu said that all iPhone 14 models will be equipped with 120Hz ProMotion screens.
It can use different refresh rates in different scenarios to ensure that users can have a better experience when browsing the web and playing games. While improving the user experience, in scenarios such as reading books, it can intelligently reduce the refresh rate and effectively reduce the screen power consumption to extend the battery life.
Jeff Pu was the analyst who exposed the news earlier, and Xiao Lei was skeptical about the use of a 120Hz ProMotion screen on the iPhone 14. The 120Hz ProMotion screen on the iPhone 13 Pro is provided by Samsung, and LG Display is expected to successfully develop a 120Hz ProMotion screen this year.
Multiple sources indicate that BOE has broken into Apple's supply chain and is producing screens for the 6.1-inch iPhone 13. South Korean media The Elec said that BOE will not be able to produce 120Hz ProMotion screens until 2023 at the earliest. If Apple wants to continue to support BOE to fight against two Korean screen manufacturers, the iPhone 14 may not all use 120Hz ProMotion.
This is actually a choice to support suppliers or improve product strength. On January 7, foreign media MacRumors reported that the whistleblower @dylandkt said that he could confirm that the iPhone 14 Pro will use a punched screen, and the Face ID component will not affect the use of the screen. When asked by netizens about the specific shape of the hole, he said: "What I heard was the pill form."
In addition, Guo Mingxi, an analyst at Tianfeng International Securities, also said that the iPhone 14 Pro will cancel the form of bangs, while the iPhone 14 will retain bangs. As a result, the iPhone 14 has few upgrade points, and Apple may also use a 120Hz ProMotion screen on the iPhone 14 to improve the competitiveness of the product.
