Apple iPhone 12 Pro tipped to feature 120Hz ProMotion display, 3x optical zoom

Another day, another iPhone 12 leak. EverythingApplePro has posted another video and this time about, they are working with the notable tipster, Max Weinbach. The new video claims to offer more claims to detail information about the 2020 iPhones, tipped to be the iPhone 12 series of devices. As per the video, the upcoming iPhones will offer a refresh rate of 120Hz, at least in the top-end variants. 

The video claims that the iPhone 12 will dynamically switch between 60Hz and 120Hz in order to conserve battery, similar to the ProMotion tech used in the iPad Pro. It was also added that Apple would be increasing the battery capacity in order to maintain a good battery life. This isn’t the first report that claims Apple will offer a 120Hz refresh rate in its 2020 iPhones. Back in October, Digitimes reported pretty much the same information about Apple using its ProMotion tech on iPhones. 

Coming back to the video, Apple is said to be improving it’s low-light photography capabilities with faster autofocus speeds improved image stabilization. Most leaks suggest that the new phones will come with a new LiDAR sensor that should increase autofocus speeds and should improve the accuracy of Portrait Mode photos. Further, the telephoto lens is tipped to offer 3x zoom instead of the 2x zoom it currently offers. Further, Apple is also tipped to improve the low light capability of the telephoto sensor.  There were reports that Apple wan planning to switch to a 64MP sensor, but EverythingApplePro’s video claims that will not be happening due to issues with autofocus and as such, the company may stick with a 12MP sensor, at least for another generation. 

Further, Apple is also said to improve FaceID by widening the area that the system scans. This should reduce the need for users to hold the straight in front of their face when they want to unlock it.
