Although Samsung started using high refresh rates in its smartphone displays last year, its arch smartphone rival Apple has not yet implemented this technology in its phones. The Cupertino tech giant was supposed to use 120Hz displays in the iPhone 12, but that didn't happen in the end – allegedly due to its concerns about the excessive power consumption of such screens. Now the news has hit the airwaves that it has decided to use Samsung's LTPO OLED panels in the iPhone 13.
According to a report by the usually well-informed Korean website The Elec, Apple will use Samsung's LTPO OLED panels in the iPhone 13, which support a variable 120Hz refresh rate. The Cupertino giant is said to have already ordered them.
OLED panels with LTPO (Low-Temperature Polycrystalline Oxide) technology consume less energy compared to regular OLED panels because they can change the refresh rate of the display. For example, when navigating the UI and scrolling the screen, the frequency may automatically switch to 120 Hz, while watching a video may drop to 60 or 30 Hz. And if nothing is happening on the screen, the frequency can go even lower, down to 1 Hz, saving energy even more.
Apple it is said that Samsung's 120Hz LTPO OLED panels will be used in the models iPhone 13 For a iPhone 13 For Max, while iPhone 13 a iPhone 13 Minis should settle for 60Hz OLED displays.
