Display​

There are a few enhancements coming to the iPhone 17's display, with Apple adding a new coating and planning to bring Pro features to standard models.
The iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Air are expected to use the same OLED panel as the current iPhone 16 Pro models, which is sourced from Samsung. The panel has a 30 percent increase in brightness and improved longevity compared to the prior-generation iPhone 16 display.
The iPhone 17 Pro models may be updated with a scratch resistant anti-reflective display coating that will cut down on glare while also preventing minor scratches and other screen damage. It is said to be more durable than the current Ceramic Shield coating.

ProMotion and Always-On​

The 120Hz "ProMotion" refresh rate has been limited to the Pro versions of the iPhone for several years, but in 2025, it is expected to expand to the entire iPhone lineup. Multiple rumors suggest that the iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Air models will include ProMotion support in addition to the iPhone 17 Pro models. ProMotion refresh rates would potentially allow for always-on display functionality, but it is not clear if Apple plans to expand always-on to the entire lineup.
Apple will use low-temperature polycrystalline oxide (LTPO) panels for all iPhone 17 models, which is what enables ProMotion thanks to better power efficiency. ProMotion enables refresh rates ranging from 1Hz to 120Hz, and at the high end, the 120Hz refresh rate provides smoother scrolling and video content.

With all four iPhones slated to get ProMotion displays in 2025, ProMotion refresh rates will no longer be a feature that sets the Pro iPhone models apart.

What’s Known About M14 OLED:

• Samsung’s M14 OLED is a next-generation OLED panel that brings notable enhancements in brightness, efficiency, and longevity, thanks to improved materials (including deuterium across RGB subpixels)
• These improvements are about light quality and durability, but none of the reports mention any changes to PWM characteristics or flicker behavior.

The iPhone 16 Plus has been working for me for a year now.
I'll test the iPhone 17 Pro Max and set it to 60Hz right away. 60Hz is enough for me and my eyes.
If it doesn't work, luckily I have the iPhone 16 Plus, which is excellent, and I don't need to use the iPhone SE anymore.

I've not tried the 16e but tempted after a couple of success stories on here.

It may be that it comes down in price too when the 17 series comes out soon?

I try all phones as soon as they come out and none have worked for me so far. I'll be trying all the new ones too but from everything I have read about new ones, there's nothing to be hopeful. My issue is with both with PWM and temporal dithering so none of the displays (macbook, ipad, iphone) of currently sold products work, not even ipad pro with nano texture.
