Apple is reportedly working on a display technology with a 90Hz refresh rate that could make its way into the upcoming iPad Air models. Apple’s iPad, iPad mini, and iPad Air models are equipped with LCD screens with a 60 Hz refresh rate, and the Air lineup may be updated with a higher refresh rate. Better display technology could reportedly be coming to the 24-inch iMac and even Apple’s Studio Display. It is also rumored that Apple is working on equipping the iPhone 17 series with 120Hz displays.

Is. Most smartphone vendors offer handsets with 120Hz refresh rates at lower prices than the regular iPhone, so it’s not surprising that Apple might be eager to close the technology gap in its standard iPhone models.
It’s fair to take these claims with a grain of salt, given that Apple only launched its M2 iPad Air model earlier this year. The company is also very secretive about its upcoming products, so we’re unlikely to see concrete information related to Apple’s next iPad Air, Studio Display, and reported display upgrades for the 24-inch iMac models until the firm unveils them. is not done.
