May. 11, 2020



Rumors of Apple adopting a higher refresh rate display on the upcoming iPhone lineup have beenflying aroundfor quite some time now. But, a fresh report from a reliable source has today revealed that the iPhone 12 Pro series (6.1-inch and 6.7-inch models) will certainly feature120Hz ProMotion display.

According to a recentEverythingAppleProvideo made in collaboration with leakster Max Weinbach, we will see a 120Hz refresh rate on the new iPhone 12 Pro models. Apple will implement a dynamic refresh rate switching mechanism so that the battery life doesn’t take a significant hint. Moreover, the Cupertino giant is reportedly working on adding a larger battery that could exceed 4,400 mAh in the higher-end model to meet the increased power needs.

The report also suggests thatFaceID will come with a wider angle of view, allowing users to conveniently unlock their iPhones at different angles. There is speculation that the iPhone 12 series could potentially adjust screen orientation using Face ID as well.

Smart HDR is reportedly getting an update as well for better noise reduction in low light conditions. Also, the telephoto lens could allow up to a 3x optical zoom, which is not a significant jump over the current 2x but a welcome change that will improve the overall experience.

The iPhone 12 series is rumored to start at $649 for the 5.4-inch model, $749 for the 6.1-inch model, $999 for the 6.1-inch Pro model, and $1,099 for the 6.7-inch Pro Max model as per credibletipster Jon Prosser.
