Apple might keep special screen features away from cheaper iPhone 17 models. People expected all new phones would have ProMotion technology that saves battery power. The company appears ready to separate expensive Pro phones from regular ones again. Different sources disagree about what Apple will do with screen refresh rates. Fixed Focus Digital says iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Air will have fast 120Hz screens but lack smart ProMotion features.

ProMotion lets phone screens change how fast they refresh based on what people are watching. Regular screens stay at 120Hz all the time and drain more battery power. Smart ProMotion screens can slow down to 1Hz when nothing moves on the display. Apple started using ProMotion on iPhone 13 Pro models several years ago. The technology helps phones show smooth animations and saves energy when screens stay still.

Display expert Ross Young believes all iPhone 17 phones will have ProMotion technology this year. He notes Apple suppliers are making more LTPO panels needed for the advanced screen feature. Many other sources also think ProMotion will reach cheaper iPhone models for the first time. Without ProMotion, iPhone 17 and Air models cannot show Always-On displays with clocks and notifications. Apple has not confirmed which direction it will take with screen technology.
