The standard iPhone 17 is expected to receive a long-awaited screen upgrade.

The base model iPhone 17 will supposedly no longer have a 60Hz display.

Why the Screen Upgrade Matters

Apple has been slow to implement higher refresh rates. For years, Samsung and other competitors have used 120Hz displays in their standard Galaxy S phones. The 60Hz screen on the regular iPhone has felt old and cheap considering its cost. This has been a reason to buy a Pro model or consider Android phones.

Now, the standard iPhone is more competitive. Customers won't have to pay extra for a feature that greatly improves how the phone feels to use. Actions like scrolling through social media and using iOS will seem more fluid. The standard iPhone 17 is a good option for people who want a great phone but don't need the Pro models' triple-camera system or LiDAR scanner.

Finally, Apple

Many Apple fans wanted this upgrade. Keeping ProMotion exclusive to Pro models seemed like a way to get people to buy the more expensive versions, which negatively affected the user experience of the base iPhone. This change is not innovative, but it fixes an issue and aligns Apple with the rest of the market.

The iPhone 17 may be very popular as a result. The difference between 60Hz and 120Hz is significant. Those with older, non-Pro iPhones now have a compelling reason to upgrade. Full reviews of the new iPhones will be available soon.
