Other Looks like 120hz is not happening this year after all

So Jon Prosser just posted on Twitter:

"120hz (codename: d6x) didn’t make mass production ?

*now* you can give up"

I am disappointed with mix emotions. Tempted to keep my 11 pro max even more this year.

That's pretty sad to be honest and what a shame. Why not delay the launch for a month or whatever it was going to take?

 

[ruslan120]

Aren’t the purported 5G benefits not that significant? Unless using the top of the line model?

Only reason for justifying the upgrade on my end just went out the window.
120Hz: Worth it.
5G, Camera Spec Bumps: No

Looks like I am still sticking to iPhone X....LOL! At this rate, I might need to get a battery replacement. My battery health is already at 80%!

Exactly. It's unfortunate. I understand the other features (improved camera, 5g, New shape), but it's hard to compete in the flagship market and skip out on this feature. Others may agree and some may also disagree, but after using the 120hz on a note 20 ultra, it's hard to go back to browsing, Facebook, and Instagram on a 60hz screen again.

 

[now i see it]

Camera on next phone will get some minor imperceptible upgrade. That's worth $1000 right there

 

[Apple_Robert]

If it doesn’t happen this year, it isn’t a big deal. People have fun fine without it thus far. Another year or so won’t really matter.

 

[CrazyForCashews]

Hey at least we’ll get an exquisite looking box!

 

[Ericdjensen]

Absolutely zero reason to upgrade then unless you have a 4+ year old phone

 

[1144557]

Zero reasons to upgrade then from any Pro model in the last 2 years. 5G is meaningless right now to most people. LIDAR is a gimmick.

No notch size change, no 120hz, very sad from Apple. Just saw a Poco X3 phone review on Youtube with 120hz display; LCD sure but still. And 5000+ mah battery for $199. So $199 phones now have it but no Apple phone at any price- a joke really.

It's sad, really. In a 2020-2021 flagship device, the notch should just NOT be there. Also, regardless of what people say of face id vs fingerprint scanners, as of today, this happens to be the ONLY flagship device that needs a PIN code or password to unlock if wearing a mask. In this world, it seems so backward to be having to do that. Maybe touch-id had its use case after all.

Agree too. Much rather a tiny teardrop notch or punchhole for the front camera than notch with Touch ID (power button or in-display)

That’s fine. Just eliminate the 120 and get it right later. We can wait one more year for that.

The goal is to have an "infinite supply" at the holidays. We nerds by up the first four runs of the things. If they get too much closer to the holidays, they will almost certainly have low supply at Christmas time.

Agreed. If I'm Apple, I would much rather have the giant changes when more people are wanting to spend money. Now it's a bit questionable.

 

[LFC2020]

Can't justify $2000 plus $AUD including apple care plus, no mm wave, and now no 120hz. ?

Might go with the 12 non pro 6.1", save $800 and hope apple get their **** together next year. ?

Was really looking forward to the 6.7" pro max. ?

Don't know what or who to believe to anymore. 😂🤷‍♂️

Never thought id say this, actually more excited about the apple silicon Macs that are coming out, instead of the iPhone 12s.

 

[chrizzz09]

Not believing anything Jon tweets..

Yeah, his recent miss call made him loose all credibility and he even tried to spin it into a "well actually..." situation.

But even so, not having 120Hz is really disappointing when pretty much all other flagships or even cheapish phones are getting 120Hz panels.

 

[Bustermd]

I don't believe anything until I see it in the flesh. Jon's record is spotty at best.

 

[JPack]

The supply chain guys always know ahead of time. Some people just didn't want to believe the truth.

[Robbosan]

99.9% of people don't even know what 120hz is or even care lol.

 

[StaceyMJ86]

To be honest it’s not a big deal to me. I have an iPad Pro so 120Hz isn’t a big to me as it is to most people. I just want a reason to upgrade my XS Max this year and I’m willing to wait until October if need be.

 

[pst23]

Glad I got a Note 20 Ultra. Keeping my 11 Pro Max.

 

[barondebxl]

If you have the iPhone 11 series this really isn't worth the upgrade.

That’s not exactly fair (Nor accurate) to say that they ‘don’t care’, because Apple hasn’t had the opportunity even demo this technology yet. For the majority, it may or may not be a selling point, Look how Apple targets their marketing, it’s geared towards the display, camera or some form of iOS feature like Animoji.
