Analyst Jeff Pu previously said that all iPhone 14 models will feature a ProMotion display. ProMotion achieves a variable refresh rate of 120Hz for smoother content when watching videos, games, or sliding pages.

Apple would be quite risky to do so, and the full range of 120Hz may be in 2023. (Source: IT House)
