> Once you get used to the better rates

I suspect everyone who upgrades from a $150 120Hz phone to a new iPhone will be thrilled.

With that take Apple would still putting 32gb on the base models.

I prefer to have two days battery of heavy used phone than few hours of smooth scrolling.

Screens drop to 1hz when not being interacted with. On _modern_ devices, at least.

This is just Apple maximising profit as usual, pushing people up the endless tiers of their product families.

I used a 14 pro for 3 months before going back to 13 mini. The screen was definitely nicer on the former but I have no actual issues with the little one. Maybe because I don't wildly flick through social media feeds very much?

It seems like 120hz is mainly designed for doomscrolling.

At the cost of worse UX in every other dimension, sure.

This is great. Now people can have superior scrolling experience at much lower price than iPhone.

Since I scroll quite a lot, I prefer to have a better experience with this very basic and common activity. Apple claims to provide the best experience, while it clearly does not.

If you spend less time scrolling on your phone, you will have a better experience.
