The upcoming iPhone 18e will reportedly maintain the 60Hz display refresh rate of its predecessor, the iPhone 17e. This means it will lack the 120Hz ProMotion and Always-On display features expected in other iPhone 18 models. Competing Android phones in a similar price range already offer 120Hz screens. Apple's low-cost iPhone isn't projected to adopt an LTPO panel, necessary for dynamic refresh rates, until early 2028. This potential 2028 shift depends on Apple's development of "LTPO+" display technology. This advanced technology would use less battery power and is slated for higher-end 2028 models like the iPhone Air and foldable iPhone. Should LTPO+ development proceed, standard LTPO panels could then become available for the rest of the lineup. However, delays in LTPO+ could also postpone the introduction of LTPO panels to the iPhone 19e. Therefore, the timeline for advanced display features on the economy iPhone models remains uncertain.
