Apple iPhone 17: Enhancing Regular Models with Pro Display Technologies

Apple iPhone 17: Pro Display Features

Apple iPhone rumors indicate that the regular iPhone 17 models will finally adopt Pro display features, specifically ProMotion and Always-On Display. This shift comes in response to the tech community's long-standing complaints regarding the absence of dynamic refresh rates in standard iPhone models, as most Android competitors have offered 90Hz refresh rates for years.

Recent Insights from Analysts

• Display analyst Ross Young leads the conversation about the inclusion of LTPO displays with 120Hz refresh rates.
• Weibo leaker Ice Universe has also supported these claims, discussing them on X after the iPhone 16 release.

This potential update suggests that both the iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Slim may receive features that have traditionally been limited to the Pro lineup. Over the years, Apple has transitioned various features—including OLED displays, 48MP camera resolution, and Dynamic Island—from Pro models to regular ones.

Looking Ahead: The iPhone Roadmap

Despite skepticism about regular models adopting ProMotion, Apple's continued innovation hints at a bright future for their product lineup. Young anticipates that additional features, like under-display Face ID, could debut in the iPhone 17 Pro, as Apple navigates technical hurdles that previously delayed this feature to the iPhone 18.

Here's a glimpse of the roadmap for future iPhone features:

1. iPhone Pro:
   • 2025: Under panel Face ID + hole
   • 2026: Under panel Face ID + hole
   • 2027: Under panel Face ID + under panel camera
2. Regular iPhone:
   • 2024: Pill shape without AOD and ProMotion
   • 2025: Pill shape with AOD and ProMotion
   • 2026: Pill shape with AOD and ProMotion
   • 2027: Under panel Face ID + hole with AOD and ProMotion
