Apple’s iPhone 17 lineup will be unveiled just two months from now, and while most features of the new models have already leaked, there’s at least one big question mark that could swing a lot of upgrade decisions: ProMotion.

Which iPhone 17 models will support ProMotion?

Back in 2022, Apple debuted a big display upgrade for certain iPhone models. ProMotion enabled the iPhone’s first always-on display, and a much-improved 120Hz high refresh rate.

For three years running, ProMotion has been exclusive to Apple’s Pro model iPhones.

But until recently, that was rumored to be changing with the iPhone 17 lineup.

Analyst Ross Young, who has a strong track record with all things display-related, has said all iPhone 17 models are getting LTPO displays with 120Hz refresh rate.

Thus, all new models should receive ProMotion features.

But more recently, Weibo leaker Fixed Focus Digital said that while higher refresh rate displays are coming, they won’t include ProMotion.

Which could make a big difference for some buyers.
