Apple brought 120 Hz refresh rate support to its iPhones with the arrival of ProMotion to the iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max. Old rumors said that this news would also come to cheaper models in 2022, but a new source says that this shouldn’t happen.
Insider Dylan (@dylandkt on Twitter) has high accuracy when it comes to early information related to Apple. He made a series of publications citing the Cupertino giant and in one of them he made comments about the iPhone 14 line.
According to him, the ProMotion technology should be exclusive to the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max, the brand’s most expensive models to be unveiled in the second half of the year. This information goes against some recent rumors that have raised the possibility of the feature being integrated into the cheapest devices in the new family, the so-called iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Max.

I am in full agreement with recent information provided by fellow Analysts and Leakers. An in display Touch ID sensor will not be coming to any iPhone 14 model or to any Apple product this year and ProMotion will be exclusive to the iPhone 14 Pro models

In addition, the Touch ID fingerprint reader hidden under the screen will not be present in any products of the brand this year. Rumors pointed out that Apple was studying the possibility of bringing the technology to the iPhone 13 Pro, from 2021. As this did not happen, it was imagined that it would end up making its debut on the iPhone 14 Pro.
Apparently, it will not be the turn to see Touch ID and Face ID on the same phone yet. It remains to be seen whether a future generation can bring the novelty or whether it will never be possible to have both biometrics options at the same time.
What to expect from the iPhone 14?
Rumors say that Apple should abandon the “mini” variant, and still launch four cell phones in 2022. That way, there would be two 6.1-inch models, the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14, and two 6.7-inch models. , which for now are being called the iPhone 14 Pro Max and iPhone 14 Max, with the latter being the biggest novelty of the year.
In addition, the more expensive devices should get a design inspired by the iPhone 4, with titanium sides and rear cameras without a module, with the lenses loose directly on the cell phone cover, while the front should have a perforated screen in the shape of a “i” for the front camera and Face ID sensors. The iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Max should look like the current iPhone 13, keeping a notch at the top of the screen.
It is also possible that Apple will bring a 48 MP main sensor on the more expensive models instead of insisting on 12 MP, which should also allow 8K video recording for the first time on the brand’s models.
