The anticipation for Apple’s upcoming iPhone 16 series is building, but the spotlight isn’t shining on the tech giant for the reasons they might hope.
There’s a buzz in the air suggesting that both the iPhone 16 and 16 Plus will maintain a 60Hz display refresh rate, falling behind the 120Hz standard seen in many other top-tier smartphones.
This choice by Apple has been a topic of conversation since the release of the iPhone 15 series, which also stuck with the same 60Hz refresh rate.
Display analyst Ross Young also predicted that screens with higher refresh rates might not be seen in Apple’s standard models until 2025.
Leaks from sources like South Korean tech site Naver and Twitter leaker @Tech_Reve fuel the speculation that the iPhone 16 series won’t see an improvement in this aspect.

The rumored screen sizes for the iPhone 16 series include a 6.12-inch display for the standard model and a 6.69-inch display for the Plus variant.
In contrast, the Pro models are expected to boast slightly larger screens with 120Hz refresh rates, aligning with the current trends in flagship smartphones.
