The non-Pro models are still only 60hz? C'mon man, high refresh rate is hardly a luxury feature anymore. At least give them 90hz and reserve 120hz for the Pro models.
This is just Apple maximising profit as usual, pushing people up the endless tiers of their product families.
I suspect everyone who upgrades from a $150 120Hz phone to a new iPhone will be thrilled.
You have it backwards. Nobody is pro gaming on an iPhone. That high refresh rate doesn't have a real, practical purpose. It just looks really really good and immediately grabs your eye - it's candy.
> Literally anyone picked off the street will notice jumping from 60hz to 120hz after maybe, I don't know, 2 seconds of swiping around.
But frame rates? I was curious to see what the hype was about and walked over to the phones section in a nearby tech store when I was there to buy something unrelated. Side by side, I just cannot tell the difference. I'm swiping fast and slow but I cannot tell whether one is smoother or if that's my brain doing this placebo thing. I'd be very curious if I can tell in a blind test. Perhaps I could, but it's so close that I really don't see the point of making a big deal out of selecting for screen refresh rate, for myself at least
1) OMG! What an upgrade! I will never own another phone without this! 2) Eh, I see what the difference is. I don’t care/it isn’t worth the price. 3) What are you talking about? I don’t see any difference.
2 and 3 combined are probably the majority of people. The first post is literally about his girlfriend not noticing screen differences. There are plenty of people like that.
No, no there aren't because fast refresh rate is painfully obvious. I'm talking within a second, maybe fractions of a second, you will notice. Because every single animation is affected.
It's one thing to say it's a small change, or not a big deal, or not worth it (I'd even agree). It's another to say you can't notice it. No... you can definitely notice it.
