The upgrade in display for the iPhone 17 is the most significant improvement for owners of older iPhones, as confirmed by my personal experience of time travel to demonstrate this.
The future of the iPhone is looking brighter, with Apple announcing that 120Hz ProMotion will be the standard for all iPhone models in the upcoming release of the iPhone 17. This decision has been welcomed by many, including myself, who have been advocating for this feature on all iPhones for years.
The introduction of ProMotion is a significant step forward for the iPhone, as it doubles the refresh rate compared to older models, providing a smoother and more responsive user experience. This is particularly noticeable when scrolling through apps or playing games, where the difference in performance is most apparent.
The iPhone 17 Pro series, first announced on September 9, 2025, and available shortly thereafter in September 2025, will be the first iPhone models to feature ProMotion. The base model of the iPhone 17 offers the same 120Hz ProMotion experience as the more expensive devices in the lineup, making it an attractive option for those who don't need the additional features of the Pro series.
For those upgrading from an older non-Pro iPhone, the iPhone 17 will provide a silky smooth refresh rate experience for the first time. This enhancement is sure to be a game-changer for many users, especially considering the iPhone 13 mini, released in 2021, was not a commercial success for Apple.
The iPhone 17 Pro series has been met with high demand, and it's not hard to see why. The improved performance, combined with the fact that ProMotion is no longer a pro feature, means that the iPhone 17 is accessible to a wider audience.
While I've been an avid iPhone user since 2015, always choosing a Pro model, I must admit that the iPhone 13 mini, which I bought for testing purposes, has rarely been used. The outdated display left me eagerly awaiting the arrival of my iPhone 17.
It's worth noting that the majority of Android smartphones already use LTPO displays, which allow for a variable refresh rate. This means that Android users have been enjoying the benefits of a smoother user experience for some time. With the arrival of ProMotion on the iPhone 17, Apple is finally catching up.
For those who value a smooth and responsive user experience, the iPhone 17 is definitely worth considering. Whether you're a long-time iPhone user or a newcomer to the platform, the iPhone 17 promises to deliver a significant improvement in performance. So, are you ready to upgrade and experience the future of the iPhone?
