A $200 phone was just released with 120hz. There’s really no excuse.

Sure thing!....So provide a link for others to see this ‘$200’ phone ‘just released’.
99.9% of people don't even know what 120hz is or even care lol.
You’re comparing tech reviewers that know what 120hz is, to normal users that don’t even know a new iPhone is coming.Exactly. Most people have no idea what the specs mean, but when they see it then it makes a big difference in action. 120hz is one of those.
I have seen exactly zero phone reviewers say 90/120hz is not a noticeable difference over 60 in real life viewing of the display.
Yep, pathetic. So why is the iPhone delayed for months? Great job Apple. Loving the 120hz display on my Note 20 Ultra though. I might just pass on a new iPhone this year since they are so late.
Don’t forget a smaller battery. I know Apple will sell millions of these but it’s going to be hard for most people to justify buying one.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.
NFC came to the iPhone in 2014, years after android phones. Can’t say it impacted sales any.
Same with OLED. The first iPhone to sport it was in 2017. Apple waited till OLED was good enough to implement at scale.
The iPad has 120hz on a lcd display. The challenge will be getting it to work on an OLED display without any of the crazy compromises like what we are seeing on Samsung phones.
When it comes to technology that possesses both advantages and drawbacks, I feel shouting “first” is pointless when what we should be looking at is the implementation.
As it stands, 120hz, for all its benefits, does result in significant power consumption and no one, not even Samsung, has found a way to properly implement it in a manner which doesn’t mar the user experience some.
Maybe this year’s iPhone will come with 120 hz. Maybe it won’t. There is one thing I can be certain of, and that is android smartphone OEMs have no idea how to properly package specs until Apple shows them, then it’s a hilarious and dizzying race to copy Apple.
At the end of the day, all design is compromise. A company like Samsung is willing to experiment more publicly. This means users may get to try out new features earlier, but the tradeoff is that they often come across as half-baked and unfinished.
Apple is the opposite, for better and for worse. It is what it is.

Sure thing!
Xiaomi's Poco X3 NFC has a big battery and a 120Hz screen for $235
The handsets are available in Europe for now, but Xiaomi has plans to launch the line internationally with reports of an imminent launch in India.www.cnet.com
I’m here once every couple of weeks and I don’t even know99.9% of people don't even know what 120hz is or even care lol.
Absolutely zero reason to upgrade then unless you have a 4+ year old phone
Oh please, stop acting like Apple is this ray of sunshine that does no wrong.
The notch is still considered a compromise. The way users accept the compromise of a notch for FaceID, is the same way users accept 120hz at 1080 instead of 1440. And users of both are happy, with the natural want for progression.
At leat FID works not like Samsungs on screen TID lol. If apple do it at least we will know it will work.
It is on their test model. They tested on it. They worked on it. They don't like it. So it didn't end up in the production model. This is genuinely Apple.Same reason the iPhones are going to be months late this year. Poor management. They are far too complacent these days because they are on top. They need to take lessons from other fallen companies who were once giants but got too complacent and sank.
The in display FS works fine for me, and most users. Can't say the same about iPhone's signal strength. 😎
