To everyone claiming not seeing 120 Hz: If you have an iPad Pro, go to Settings and activate the Display setting where the iPad locks to 60 Hz. Use your iPad Pro for a few minutes, then change that setting again. You'll see a difference.
It’s not that there’s no perceptible difference, it’s whether it makes a meaningful real world difference. To me, it doesn’t.

I feel it's kinda like retina display. it's not important before you see it. once you see it, it's gonna be important. Who wouldn't want a silky smooth animation? I hope Apple can find a way to minimize battery hit though.

I can clearly see the difference, but from what I do on a phone I couldn’t care less, most likely I’ll turn it off if possible (if Apple allows us). Videos are either 24, 30 or 60 FPS (probably 24 fps might look better if the refresh rate is 120, but I don’t watch most movies in my phone).
For a high end PC or next gen gaming console, that’s a whole different story and I’m hoping next gen consoles have good support for this!
 
If Apple can implement properly then it’s something I would wish for. Pretty much every flagship has/will have it by this year. But if Apple don’t include but change the design, include a better camera, include USB C to mention a few then I would probably soon forget about the refresh rate. But hopefully the screen will have some sort of upgrade and an hope for the latter.
 
Promotion is such an overrated feature. Right up there with OLED.

You notice it at first then after 2 days you forget about it.

Went back to a regular display and I don’t miss it at all.

No benefits from it to me.

Oled isn’t overrated. The primary reason why I use my iPhone over my iPad Pro 11 is the oled screen.
 
we heard rumours this is what will happen on all 3 models last year but nothing recently. how important would this feature be for you?

Will the 120hz feature affects games and apps? I wanted to know if the games will appear more smoother? Or this feature is good only for browsing/scrolling and home screen? If 120hz is tempting.
 
Not sure. I think my 10.5 inch pro is holding up really well against my iPad mini 5 and even my 11 pro max despite having a few generations older chipset. I wonder if this is on part due to the pro motion display.
 
I don’t think it will be that important for me. I have used it on the iPad and it’s nice visually but not ground breaking. I rather have a better camera and battery life.
 
I want both Smoothness and High Resolution, to me it’s useless having to choose between the two.

Give me both WQHD with 120Hz Refresh and 240Hz touch rate.

I’m pretty happy with my 11 Pro Max right now but I think around 2021/2022 I’ll happily get something that has all of this with 5G running efficiently.

I think all this stuff will run better with chips that are built on 5nm, I really think some of these OEMs have stretched the 7nm chips to their limits, with things like 8K video that is not even good quality
