    iPhone 16/Plus iPhone 16 Plus, 60hz poor performance planned on Apple's end?

However, I also have a Pixel 8a for work - which has a 120hz display and I turned it off to 60hz to confirm a theory. The 16 is incredibly smooth at times, but it seems like...

    Do MacBook Pro displays support VRR (like adaptive sync)?
