Apple keeps setting its Pro devices apart from the regular ones in a way that many other brands don't. For example, while companies like Google, Samsung, and Xiaomi provide 90 Hz or even 120 Hz screens in their phones, Apple sticks to a maximum refresh rate of 60 Hz for all its non-Pro products. This includes the expensive 24-inch iMac, which currently costs $1,299 on Amazon.
Upcoming Changes in Display Technology
There are whispers that the iPhone 17 series, set to release next year, will finally bring 120 Hz screens to non-Pro iPhones. Additionally, a new rumor hints that at least three upcoming Apple products could soon feature faster display technology. However, it's important to keep in mind that none of this is confirmed yet. The Upgrade podcast mentioned an unnamed source, as highlighted by 9to5Mac.
Potential Upgrades for Other Devices
According to reports, Apple may introduce 90 Hz displays in future versions of the iPad Air, the 24-inch iMac, and even the Studio Display. Earlier reports suggest that the iPad Air will get an update early next year. On the other hand, the timeline for updating the Studio Display or the 24-inch iMac is still uncertain, especially since the Apple M4 version has not yet started shipping.
