The iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max would ultimately not be covered with a 120 Hz screen, reveals a leak. Following the delays accumulated during the coronavirus crisis, Apple would not be able to obtain the integrated circuits intended for the slabs on time. Rather than postpone the launch of the 2 high-end versions by several additional weeks, the Cupertino company would prefer to abandon this feature and reserve it for the iPhone 13.

Ross Young, renowned industry analyst and inexhaustible source of leaks, once again mentioned the iPhone 12 on his Twitter account. “I’ve heard that Apple managed to get Pro 120Hz panels but not the 120Hz monitor driver ICs” Ross Young advances. As shown iOS 14 beta source code, Apple therefore intends to integrate 120 Hz screens on the iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max.

No screen 120 this year? Apple would expect the iPhone 13
Faced with supplier problems encountered, Apple reportedly considering ditching 120Hz displays for this year. “They will therefore either have to find a fix, which promises to be difficult, wait for the driver integrated circuits for 120 Hz screens and therefore significantly delay the launch, or launch them at 60 Hz” explains the analyst. This is the last option that would be favored by Apple. Rather than exaggeratingly postponing the release of the iPhone 12 Pro, the Californian brand would be satisfied with 60 Hz screens.
“Apple can move mountains, so we’ll see. Considering how badly some of you want 120Hz, maybe they’ll listen and delay the launch ” nevertheless believes Ross Young. As a reminder, Apple is expected to present the iPhone 12 at a keynote scheduled for October. The two iPhone 12 Pros would not hit the market until November 2020.
A few weeks ago, the CEO of the analysis firm Display Supply Chain Consultants already stated thatApple would instead reserve 120 Hz screens for the iPhone 13 Pro, expected at the end of 2021. Some informants, including Jon Prosser, assure that Apple has not yet buried the idea and that most of the prototypes tested are well equipped with 120 Hz screens. We tell you more as soon as possible.
Hearing that Apple can get 120Hz Pro panels, but not 120Hz driver ICs. So they will either have to come up with a fix which will be difficult, wait for 120Hz driver ICs and delay the launch possibly significantly or launch with 60Hz. We are hearing they will launch with 60Hz.
