According to a new rumor, only the highest-end iPhone 14 models will get Apple’s ProMotion display technology.
Based on Ross Young’s tweet, a treated source who shares accurate information about smartphone displays – said that 120Hz ProMotion display technology will not be available on the entire iPhone 14 series and it will only be available on the Pro models.
No since BOE doesn’t have enough LTPO capacity and have yet to ship any LTPO panels. Would be quite risky. Maybe in 2023…

It was previously reported that all models of the iPhone 14 series would feature 120Hz ProMotion technology.
In addition, Young suggests that BOE (Chinese Display maker) would be the supplier of standard iPhone 14’s LTPO OLED displays. Young doubted that the company does not have enough production capacity right now.
Samsung is the biggest supplier for LTPO OLED display for iPhone 13 Pro models.
