LTPO technology was first introduced in the Apple Watch. The display technology allows for a variable refresh rate, something that Apple has been developing in order to bring 120Hz to the iPhone without sacrificing battery life.
According to an earlier report from TheElec, only the pro-level iPhone 13 models will feature LTPO displays, with all iPhones getting it next year.
Samsung Display will be the exclusive supplier used by Apple for organic light-emitting diode (OLED) panels used in the two highest tier models of its next iPhone, TheElec has learned.
Both models of iPhone 13 will use low-temperature polycrystalline oxide (LTPO) thin-film transistors (TFT) OLED panels made by Samsung Display.
Apple's iPhone 13 will have four models and all of them will use OLED panels. The top two models will use LTPO OLED that can support 120Hz refresh rate.
