Imagine experiencing a display so smooth that every swipe and scroll feels like butter—this is the potential future of smartphone displays. In our analysis of the iPhone 16e, we break down the current 60Hz display technology and contrast it with the anticipated leap to 120Hz refresh rates. The iPhone 16e’s 60Hz display already offers a solid viewing experience with crisp visuals and responsive touch inputs. However, many tech enthusiasts are excited about what 120Hz technology can bring—smoother animations, reduced motion blur, and even more immersive gaming experiences. We discuss real-world examples where users have noted improvements in fluidity, especially in high-intensity gaming and fast-paced video content. Data from recent tests indicate that while 60Hz remains reliable for most daily tasks, the difference becomes significant when comparing high-end gaming benchmarks and professional video editing scenarios. Our narrative explains these technical differences in simple terms, making it accessible for both novices and tech experts. Curious about how this fits into the broader design narrative?
