6z IntzCell Phone ChannelSeptember 6, 2011 - The iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max will come with larger batteries, so the devices will "look a little bigger overall". While longer battery life is always a top customer wish, the inclusion of a larger battery in this year's high-end iPhones could be a direct result of the inclusion of a rest-screen display.
Apple will be able to offer a resting screen display on the upcoming iPhone thanks to the new OLED display technology with a lower refresh rate. While the iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max support variable refresh rates up to 120Hz, the 2021 iPhone can only go as low as 10Hz.
On the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max, the OLED panel is expected to be as low as 1Hz, which saves power when displaying information on the resting screen. Thanks to the newer OLED display, the rest-screen display feature is expected to remain exclusive to the iPhone 14 Pro and won't be extended to the iPhone 13 Pro through a potential software update, as some had hoped. models.
In addition to the energy savings from the lower refresh rate, the larger battery on the iPhone 14 Pro may compensate users for the loss of battery life that may occur when using the Always-On Display feature. These two changes are accompanied by energy efficiency improvements in the upcoming A16 bionic chip, which is expected to power the new iPhone Pro version.
