I am not clear how did you measure 80 or 120 Hz on an iPhone.


Refer to this --> iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max - Technical Specifications



The iPhone 13 Pro, 14 Pro, 15 Pro, and 16 Pro Max versions, and the iPad Pro ProMotion displays are capable of dynamically switching between:

  • 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, 15 and 16 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!


The iPhone 13, 14, 15 and 16 Pro and Max versions prioritize both a stunning visual experience and long-lasting battery life. The adaptive refresh rate is a key feature that contributes to this balance, making it a perfect choice for users who value both

Bro i am well aware of adaptive display but it does not mean when u r rapidly scrolling up and down it will switch to 80 hz it does not make any sense in preserving the battery …while slowing down scrolling it get back to 120 hz .. look at android flagship how they are preserving battery they also have adaptive display ..so plz never try to defend apple for such ***** they are implementing..
