"Apple seems determined to leave a persistent gap between the cameras of its Pro iPhones and the regular ones, but most other features-the edge-to-edge-screen design with FaceID, the Dynamic Island, OLED display panels, Apple Intelligence compatibility-eventually trickle down to the regular-old iPhone after a generation or two of timed exclusivity. One feature that Apple has been particularly slow to move down the chain is ProMotion, the branding the company uses to refer to a screen that can refresh up to 120 times per second rather than the more typical 60 times per second screen"
"ProMotion isn't a necessary feature, but since Apple added it to the iPhone 13 Pro in 2021, the extra fluidity and smoothness, plus the always-on display feature, have been big selling points for the Pro phones. This year, ProMotion finally comes to the regular-old iPhone 17, years after midrange and even lower-end Android phones made the swap to 90 or 120 Hz display panels."
The iPhone 17 introduces ProMotion (up to 120Hz) to the regular iPhone line and doubles the baseline storage from 128GB to 256GB. The camera gap between Pro and regular models remains, while many Pro features have gradually moved to standard iPhones. The iPhone 17 shares an exterior design with recent models and lacks major aesthetic changes. The 120Hz display and increased storage narrow the functional difference with Pro models, making the iPhone 17 a strong value choice for users who do not need Pro-level camera capabilities.
