After using an iPad Pro with 120hz refresh rate screen I can safely say I do not give a single fuck if I have a phone with a 120hz screen.
I’m having zero problems going from iPad to iPhone. Maybe it would be different if I used a phone sized screen with a high refresh rate but right now my iPhone still feels like the smoothest phone I’ve ever used and I’m not thinking “damn, I can’t believe I could be doomscrolling at twice the smoothness”

Genuine question: What are you doing in a phone that NEEDS 120hz refresh rate? I get that it’s nice and some people say they need the highest refresh rate possible because they can see the janky animations and it gives them headaches but like, is it just playing games? Scrolling Twitter and Instagram? I do not know any use cases. It just feels like tech youtubers once again saying “big number is better

@evie It's good for multitasking. I appreciate being able to torrent, use Waze, time for 20 minutes, and look at the latest tweets at the same time.

If I'm somewhere with WiFi I would add playing video to that, since Android has Picture-in-Picture

I also like the trend of new intermediary systems and devices allowing you to utilize smartphones into full desktop form factors

@plsburydoughboy I’m talking SOLELY about refresh rate though?
