The iPhone has not been in this position since the iPhone 6 according to Wedbush analysts
The Apple iPhone 13 series (possibly the Pro models only) could be equipped with the ProMotion 120Hz refresh rate that updates the screen 120 times per second. This allows for buttery smooth scrolling and animation. Using LTPS technology, the refresh rate could be variable and automatically drop down when the content on the screen is static. This would be done to save battery life on the phone since a 120Hz refresh rate is known to drain a handset’s battery. We also could see improvements in the Ultra-wide camera across the entire line and for the first time, iPhone users might be given the ability to choose between using Face ID or an in-display version of Touch ID to unlock their devices. There have been a number of iPhone users who have complained about Apple’s facial recognition system and have longed for the old days when fingerprint scanners were the only biometrics on the latest iPhone models.
