Apple’s 2020 iPhones are expected to ditch the notch and also get a number of other design changes, one of these may be Apple’s 120Hz ProMotion displays.
The ProMotion displays are currently used in Apple’s iPad Pro and they could also be coming to the iPhone next year. This technology allows for a smoother and more responsive user experience, particularly beneficial for activities such as gaming, video playback, and scrolling through content. The higher refresh rate can make animations and transitions appear more fluid, which enhances the overall user experience.
ProMotion Display Technology
The news comes from Ice Universe, a well-known leaker in the tech community, who revealed the information on Twitter. You can see the tweet below, which also mentions AMOLED displays. Apple is expected to use AMOLED in all three handsets next year. AMOLED displays are known for their vibrant colors and deep blacks, which can significantly improve the visual quality of the screen.

Apple is apparently in talks with both Samsung and LG over the displays. They are said to use the exact same technology that is used in the current iPad Pro range. This collaboration is not surprising, as Samsung and LG are two of the leading manufacturers of display technology and have a history of supplying Apple with high-quality screens.
Potential Design Changes
In addition to the ProMotion displays, the 2020 iPhones are rumored to feature several other design changes. One of the most anticipated changes is the removal of the notch, which has been a controversial design element since its introduction with the iPhone X. The notch houses the front-facing camera and Face ID sensors, and its removal would likely require Apple to find alternative ways to integrate these components, possibly under the display itself.
Another potential design change could be the introduction of a new camera system. Apple has been focusing heavily on improving the camera capabilities of its devices, and the 2020 iPhones could feature advanced 3D sensing rear cameras. This would enhance augmented reality (AR) experiences and improve depth sensing for photography and videography.
Moreover, there are speculations about the inclusion of 5G technology in the 2020 iPhones. With major carriers rolling out 5G networks, Apple is expected to join the trend, offering faster internet speeds and improved connectivity. This would be a significant upgrade, especially for users who rely on their iPhones for streaming, gaming, and other data-intensive activities.
It will be interesting to see what next year’s iPhones will be like and what other design changes they will get. The combination of ProMotion displays, AMOLED technology, and potential new features like 5G and advanced cameras could make the 2020 iPhones some of the most innovative devices Apple has ever released.
