iPhone 17 ProMotion: What this feature can do

iPhone 17 ProMotion brings new display technology to the iPhone 17, ensuring smoother animations and a more responsive user experience. Apple is setting new standards with this technology.

ProMotion display technology in the iPhone 17

The iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max feature advanced ProMotion technology, which was first included in the Pro series and has now made its way to the standard model.

• ProMotion enables an adaptive refresh rate of up to 120 Hz. This means that the display can dynamically adapt to the content: when scrolling or moving quickly, everything looks extremely smooth, while when reading text or viewing static content, the frequency is reduced to save battery life.

• In addition to the smooth user experience, the ProMotion display in the iPhone 17 also ensures significantly better readability in sunlight, as the brightness reaches peak values of up to 3,000 nits – a value never before achieved in iPhones.

• Apple has also equipped the display with advanced Ceramic Shield 2 technology, which significantly increases scratch resistance compared to previous generations.

Added value with ProMotion: uses and special features

ProMotion is particularly noticeable when multitasking, playing 3D games, and viewing fast animations. The higher refresh rate increases response speed, reduces blurring, and also helps with video recording, for example, as the display keeps up with the recorded frame rates.

• Games and optimized applications run even more precisely, making the iPhone 17 particularly attractive for content creators and demanding users.

• At the same time, the new display supports an always-on feature: the time, notifications, and widgets are visible at all times in standby mode—without significantly affecting battery life, as ProMotion automatically reduces the frequency when inactive.

• This is complemented by the Super Retina XDR panel built into the iPhone 17, which displays colors brilliantly and, in combination with ProMotion, delivers significant added value, especially for videos, animations, and games.

• Apple is once again emphasizing its philosophy of cleverly combining performance and efficiency, offering one of the most advanced smartphone displays on the market today in the iPhone 17 ProMotion.
