iPhone 17 series has been gathering attention of Apple fans since the launch of iPhone 16 series in September this year. Just like last few years, the iPhone 17 series is also said to comprise four models, however, it is believed to mark a debut of a completely new model. The iPhone 17 series is believed to include iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17 Pro Max and the new iPhone 17 Slim that will replace the Plus model. Along with a new model, Apple is also said to bring the ‘Pro’ feature to the ‘non-Pro’ flagship iPhones in 2025. As per a report by South Korea’s ETNews, iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Slim will feature ProMotion display with refresh rate of up to 120Hz.

If the report by ETNews turns out to be true, iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Slim will become the first non-Pro iPhones to get 120Hz display. Apple's ProMotion technology has been exclusive to the Pro models since its launch with the iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max in 2021. The availability of the feature for iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Air will mark a notable enhancement for users of the standard models.
Reports indicate that Samsung and LG will supply the LTPO (low-temperature polycrystalline oxide) displays for all iPhone 17 variants. LTPO technology allows for a variable refresh rate, optimising power consumption while maintaining performance. This means that ProMotion will not drain battery life, a concern for many users.

With ProMotion, the iPhone 17 and "iPhone 17 Air" will deliver smoother scrolling and more fluid video playback. Current Pro models can reduce their refresh rate down to 10Hz, while the iPhone 14 Pro through iPhone 16 Pro models can dip as low as 1Hz. This capability supports features like the always-on display, which shows selected Lock Screen elements even when the device is locked. However, it remains uncertain whether the iPhone 17 and "iPhone 17 Air" will match these capabilities, potentially reaching either the 10Hz or 1Hz threshold.
