The iPhone’s display has significantly improved over the past few years, incorporating features like the Dynamic Island for enhanced multitasking, reduced minimum brightness for easier reading in low-light settings, and increased peak brightness. However, there are still opportunities for Apple to advance the screens on its smartphones, particularly for the base models. Screen quality is a key factor that sets the Pro models apart from standard iPhones, although there are many other distinguishing features. In contrast to the iPhone 16, the iPhone 16 Pro boasts a dedicated telephoto lens, a titanium body, a more advanced processor, a slightly larger screen, and extended battery life. This is quite substantial, leading me to believe it’s time to introduce features like high refresh rates and an always-on display to the standard models. Additionally, it’s important to mention that Apple might revamp its iPhone lineup next year with a new iPhone 17 Slim set to replace the iPhone Plus, as reported by Bloomberg, The Information, and analysts Ming-Chi Kuo and Ross Young. If Apple is reconsidering its strategy for the iPhone 17 series, I hope that translates into more display enhancements as well. After all, the screen of your iPhone influences every action you take on the device, from watching YouTube videos and sending texts to playing games and capturing photos.
