  • Faster refresh rates up to 120Hz
  • Slower refresh rates down to 24Hz or 10Hz


This dynamic switching means your app can present smooth, seamless animations and take advantage of power-saving opportunities. Your app may already be capable of taking advantage of these new refresh rates without any changes. Some framework animation features handle frame pacing automatically for you, including Optimizing ProMotion refresh rates for iPhone 13 Pro and iPad Pro | Apple Developer Documentation


Benefits of the iPhone 13, 14, and 15 Pro and Max versions's adaptive refresh rate:

Experience unparalleled smoothness without sacrificing battery life:

One of the biggest advancements in smartphone displays is the jump to high refresh rates. While these displays deliver a buttery smooth experience, especially when scrolling or gaming, they can come at the cost of increased battery drain. The iPhone 13, 14, and 15 Pro and Max versions tackle this issue head-on with their innovative adaptive refresh rate.


This technology allows the display to intelligently adjust its refresh rate between a range of 10Hz to a blazing-fast 120Hz. What does this mean for you? When you're engaged in fast-paced activities like gaming or watching high frame-rate videos, the display will seamlessly switch to 120Hz, ensuring incredible responsiveness and a visually stunning experience.


However, for everyday tasks like reading an email or browsing the web, the refresh rate can drop down to a lower setting like 10Hz. This significantly reduces battery consumption without any noticeable impact on smoothness. It's a win-win situation!

Games on iPhones typically use a variable refresh rate ranging from 10 Hz to 120 Hz to optimize performance based on the device's capabilities and the game's demands. The refresh rate determines how often the display refreshes per second, with higher rates (like 120 Hz) offering smoother visuals, especially in fast-paced games. This adaptive refresh rate is designed to balance battery life and performance, adjusting dynamically to the content on screen.


On the other hand, FPS (frames per second) is used to measure the smoothness of screen recording and video recording on the iPhone. FPS refers to how many frames (individual images) are captured per second. Higher FPS (like 60 FPS or 120 FPS) results in smoother, more fluid video playback, while lower FPS can appear choppy. This is especially important when recording fast-moving content, like gaming or action scenes. For screen recording and video recording, the iPhone typically supports up to 60 FPS, but in certain cases like slow-motion recording, it can go higher (up to 240 FPS in some models).
