For me it’s more noticeable when I pick up an older device and it seems less smooth. Otherwise I feel that’s not enough to upgrade for as some claim to not notice at all.

I have a 13 mini and 13 Pro. I'm going to be selling the pro after using it for a year. At first it was super noticeable but after time the 60hz didn't feel unusable. I have a high refresh rate gaming monitor and can 100% tell the difference between something running at 60hz vs 144hz, but for me on the phone it's not a deal breaker, even though when I first got the pro I thought I'd never be able to go back. Hopefully that helps.

Thanks for sharing! :)

Yes

Absolutely. It's actually one of the main features I was looking forward to when I got this phone. My S10+ was 60hz and whenever I used my mum's or mate's S20 with 120hz, I'd be left feeling like I'm lacking on my S10+. I love the 120hz.

Wow, to be honest I wouldn't of expected that- but I've only ever been on 60hz. I might have to try it.

Definitely noticeable. When I put my phone in low battery mode (lowers the hz) I can see and feel the difference. Not a big deal but for sure noticeable.

I think the base iPhone 14 is a royal waste of money. It has a severe lack of features and costs a mind blowing £849. The Pro is the only one worth having.

I know I'll be downvoted to shit for this, but if you don't want to spend £1k+, stick to android devices like the S23 (launches tomorrow), Pixel 7 Pro etc. because they give you a lot more for the money. Imo Apple only gets competitive once you hit the actual flagships.

120hz is noticeable to 60hz. But it really depends wether you care about it. It’s not like playing a game where 2x refresh rate can dramatically change your perception of the world.

Yeah I know what you mean. The price you pay for the specs you get on an iPhone can definitely be had way cheaper else where definitely, no doubt. When I first got my G6 it worked great, but really slowed down over time due to lack of updates outside of the first few years I had it. I thought it might make more sense to go with an iPhone for this reason since I usually try to keep & use phones I buy for minimum 4-5 years. I'm not sure though.

Yes it is noticeable.

But in my experience (and I’m a sucker for HRR) on a phone it’s not absolutely needed, if the savings are worth it.

About the CPU, don’t even bother, the A16 is a small step up from the A15 and even an A13 is still plenty fast for almost everybody. The RAM is more important and both have 6gb.

Up to you really. Try getting a hold of both on a store, because the Pro is way heavier also. Bear in mind that side by side, the 120hz will be even more noticeable, but your eyes will adjust to 60hz or to 120hz in a day, wathever you buy.

Good luck!

120hz vs 60hz is night and day difference but some argue that they can’t see it. I think these are just the people who are in denial for whatever reason, maybe jealous they don’t have it?

As soon as the 14 Pro and Max came out I predicted tons of posts and users praising the 120hz (those who didn’t get the 13Pro and Max) and what do ya know. People love it.

You’ll notice it when scrolling for the most part, watching videos and that the pro motion brings it down to the lowest hz to preserve battery. Some games have 120fps if gaming is your thing and you really notice it then. Also the animations and navigating throughout iOS’s already fluid OS is a real treat for the eyes and makes it ultra smooth imo.

Been using it since the Rog Phone 2 came out in early 2019 and I can’t go back. 60hz gives me a headache.

Yep, exactly!!

I went Pro just for the higher refresh rate. I had an Android with 90 Hz and an iPhone 12 with 60 Hz and the only thing I hated about the iPhone 12 was the 60 Hz. Got the 14 Pro and it’s so smooth.
