iPhone
12 models actually have worse battery life than their predecessors after Apple
equipped them with smaller batteries than the iPhone 11 range. Second, LTPO
enables a variable refresh rate of between 1Hz and 120Hz so iPhone users are
finally going to enjoy the high refresh rates that have proved popular on
Android devices for the last few years - but without the excessive battery
drain it had caused. Apple is expected to market this high refresh rate as
‘ProMotion’, something it introduced on iPad Pros several years ago though they
are still using LCD panels.
Apple’s
iPhone 13 range has a new design and an improved features on the previous model
iPhone 12. Now a new exclusive has revealed what, for many, will be its biggest
upgrade.
Following
up its recent iPhone 13 production revelations, Forbes states that Apple’s new
smartphone range will be up to 20% more power-efficient than the iPhone 12
models - a massive upgrade. And the site also reveals the primary reason for
that power saving: next-generation displays.
Forbes
states Apple partners Samsung Display and LG Display are currently converting
their iPhone production lines from LTPS OLED, used in the iPhone 12
range, to LTPO OLED. This “completed in the first half of 2021” explains Forbes
source. LTPO OLED displays have been rumored for some time, but this is the
first time we have heard about the extent of the power saving they will help to
bring.
And
there are further reasons to be excited about the battery life of the iPhone 13
line-up. Alongside LTPO displays, they will have more efficient next-gen 5G
modems and the company’s A15 chip, which will bring increased performance and
reduced power draw.
It
isn’t all about efficiency though, iPhone 13 leaks have also revealed Apple’s
plans to reduce the notch (at last!), boost WiFi speed and range, overhaul the
camera experience and introduce an improved version of MagSafe.
