- The iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Plus models launching next year will feature always-on displays with ProMotion technology for the first time on standard iPhones
- ProMotion allows the display refresh rate to drop as low as 1Hz for more power efficiency, enabling always-on functionality to show the lock screen
- Apple will keep less advanced display technology in this year’s iPhone 16 and 16 Plus to differentiate between standard and Pro models
- BOE is hoping to supply the LPTO panels for always-on displays on iPhone 17 but may not meet Apple’s quality standards
- This year’s iPhone 16 Pro models will have taller 19.6:9 aspect ratios and larger 6.27-inch and 6.86-inch displays
- The iPhone 17 models will receive panel upgrades with larger sizes and LPTO technology for ProMotion and always-on displays
