I finally cured my ＂obsessive-compulsive disorder＂ by spending 2K yuan more for high brushing.

A significant difference between the series models that are currently selling well and the 13 Pro series models is that the two models of the iPhone 13 Pro series have ProMotion technology based on dynamic screen refresh rate. With this technology, the screen refresh frequency of the iPhone 13 Pro series models can be adjusted freely between 10 times and 120 times per second, which is the function of dynamic high refresh rate.

Because the official calibration price of the iPhone 13 Pro 128GB version is 7999 yuan, and the official calibration price of the iPhone 13 128GB version is 5999 yuan, that is to say, if users want to experience the iPhone 13 with dynamic high refresh rate, they need to spend more than 2000 yuan to buy the iPhone 13 Pro with ProMotion. If you are a user who has the ultimate pursuit of high refresh rate screen display effect, then this 2000 yuan can be said to have to be spent. So what is the experience of the ProMotion technology that can realize the dynamic high refresh rate function in actual use, and what are the differences compared with the traditional 60Hz standard refresh rate? Let’s take you to analyze it.

First of all, according to the official data released by Apple, the iPhone 13 Pro supports 12 refresh rate gears from 10Hz to 120Hz, of which the lowest gear is 10Hz, and the gears above 60Hz are 80Hz and 120Hz. Considering that few digital contents are presented in 80 frames, the 80Hz gear can be regarded as a transitional gear for system animation, while 120Hz is the refresh rate gear for iPhone 13 Pro system animation and high frame rate content display.

This design enables the system animation and UI animation of iPhone 13 Pro to be displayed at a high screen refresh rate of 120Hz in most cases, which is very attractive to many users who are extremely fond of the smooth visual experience brought by the high screen refresh rate. However, some system animations of iPhone 13 Pro will also be displayed at 80Hz, which also makes some users feel dissatisfied.

In the actual measurement, by sliding the UI interface of the system, we can find that the display effect of the iPhone 13 Pro is very smooth in most cases, but the fluency will decrease when the interface with lower refresh rate is used in the display system settings. In addition, the iPhone 13 Pro is very smooth whether it is reduced from high refresh rate to low refresh rate or upgraded from low refresh rate to high refresh rate.

Under the common 60Hz gear, Apple provides a wealth of refresh rate gears, which are 48Hz, 40Hz, 30Hz, 24Hz, 20Hz, 16Hz, 15Hz, 12Hz and 10Hz respectively. It can be seen that compared with the domestic Android flagship that emphasizes the high refresh rate experience, the iPhone 13 Pro pays more attention to the role of dynamic screen refresh rate technology in reducing the power consumption of mobile phones, and provides quite a few refresh rate gear options for this purpose, which also makes the battery life of the iPhone 13 Pro Max reach a quite excellent level among similar models.

With the help of ProMotion technology, iPhone 13 Pro can intelligently adjust the screen refresh rate according to the currently displayed content. In the actual test, we can find that when play online has 30 frames of online video, the rendering frame rate of iPhone 13 Pro is 30 frames. It can be considered that the video frame rate can be accurately identified and displayed at the corresponding screen refresh rate of 30Hz, thus achieving the purpose of reducing power consumption.

You can achieve a rendering frame rate of 30 frames when watching videos.

Similarly, when running a 120-frame game, the rendering frame rate of iPhone 13 Pro is 120 frames, which also accurately identifies the frame rate and displays it at the corresponding screen refresh rate of 120Hz, thus bringing users a smooth play experience.

120 frames game screen settings

Realize the rendering frame rate of 120 frames when running 120-frame games.

For users who want to get the ultimate visual fluency and have a unique preference for high frame rate content, it is necessary to choose the more expensive iPhone 13 Pro series models with ProMotion technology. For ordinary users, especially those who are not sensitive to the frame rate of digital content and have no professional needs, the iPhone 13 with 60Hz refresh rate screen is a cost-effective purchase choice.
