The majority of high-end smartphones are currently proud of 120Hz or at least 90Hz refresh rates, especially now Apple has joined Fray. People often praise how features like that make experience feel smoother and more responsive, but the speed of refresh is faster not to come without the price. In addition to more expensive component literal costs, there is also an inevitable impact on battery life. There are various strategies to reduce it, but the Apple novel technique in the promotion display of the iPhone 13 Pro may be an innovative step of all.

The screen with refresh speeds that faster often makes things look smooth, especially when it comes to games, animations, and even scrolling social media feed. That means, however, that the screen must refresh 90 to 120 times per second, which naturally means consuming more strength in the process. That’s why most cellphones and tablets apply a dynamic or variable refresh rate so that the frequency changes depending on the application used.

The iPhone 13 Pro uses the same strategy, but Apple seems to have added other factors when determining the speed of refresh what is used. According to Report Inc., iOS also measures the speed of your finger while touching the screen and adjusting the speed of refresh as needed. That means that if the content on the stationary screen, the promotion display can run as low as 10Hz. Rolling at a fast speed, on the other hand, can kick everything up to 120Hz.

This additional variable clearly sounds like a smarter approach than only has a bucket based on the type of application used. This can be part of the Apple strategy to keep the iPhone 13 Pro battery life at a level that is almost the same as the iPhone without a promotional screen. Considering battery life is still a big problem for iPhone users, it’s a big enough gamble for the company.

However, it is definitely an ingenious and one strategy that hopefully will run to the appearance of other promotions, especially expected for the iPhone 14 basis next year. Now the cat comes out of the bag, maybe just a matter of time before other telephone makers like Samsung adopts similar technologies for their own flagships.
