iPhone 17 Line to Get ProMotion Displays Across All Models, Report Says

According to South Korea’s ETNews, Apple is preparing to make a significant leap in display technology for its 2025 iPhone lineup. The report indicates that all iPhone 17 models will feature advanced LTPO displays, suggesting the expansion of ProMotion technology across the entire range for the first time since its iPhone debut in 2021.

This development would mark a departure from Apple’s current strategy of reserving ProMotion displays for Pro models, potentially democratizing high-refresh-rate technology across its smartphone lineup.

Understanding LTPO Technology

LTPO (Low-Temperature Polycrystalline Oxide) represents a crucial advancement in display technology:

  • Low-power backplane technology for OLED displays
  • Enables variable refresh rate capabilities
  • Optimizes power consumption during high-refresh-rate operation
  • Allows for dynamic adjustment based on content needs

ProMotion Benefits and Capabilities

The implementation of ProMotion brings several key advantages:

  • Variable refresh rates up to 120Hz
  • Smoother scrolling experience
  • Enhanced video playback
  • Power-efficient operation

Display Supply Chain Consultants CEO Ross Young has previously confirmed to MacRumors the likelihood of ProMotion support expanding to the iPhone 17 and “iPhone 17 Air” models.
