iPhone 17: Smoother Displays Ahead?
It’s rumor season again, and this time the buzz is about the iPhone 17. Reports suggest that all models might feature ProMotion, Apple’s high-refresh-rate display technology. But before you get too excited, here’s why the reality might be a bit different.
What’s Being Said?
- Display analyst Ross Young and leaker Digital Chat Station claim that every iPhone 17 model will have LTPO displays with variable refresh rates.
- ProMotion, currently exclusive to Pro models, offers 120Hz refresh rates for super-smooth animations, while non-Pro iPhones are capped at 60Hz.
The Likely Scenario
Despite the rumors, Apple may not bring full 120Hz ProMotion to non-Pro models. Why?
- Pro Branding: Features with “Pro” in the name, like ProMotion, are typically reserved for high-end devices.
- A Middle Ground: Instead of 120Hz, Apple might opt for 90Hz displays for non-Pro iPhone 17 models—smoother than 60Hz but distinct from the Pro experience. A new term like “Liquid Motion” could be introduced.
- Precedent: Apple has explored 90Hz displays for products like the iPad Air and iMac, making this a plausible move for non-Pro iPhones.

iPhone SE 4 Could Be Called 'iPhone 16E'
Exciting rumors are swirling about Apple’s upcoming budget iPhone, set to launch in March 2024. Here's a quick rundown of what we know:
New Name?
- Reports suggest the fourth-generation iPhone SE may be named iPhone 16E instead of sticking with the “SE” branding.
- The exact styling is unclear—will it be 16E, 16e, 16SE, or something entirely different?
Rumored Features:
- Design: Likely to resemble the base iPhone 14 and iPhone 16, with a modern 6.1-inch OLED display.
- Upgraded Specs: Expect Face ID, a single 48MP rear camera, USB-C, a newer A-series chip, 8GB RAM, and Apple’s first in-house 5G modem.
- Possibilities: An Action button is uncertain, but it’s possible!
Pricing:
- The current iPhone SE starts at $429, but a slight price increase is anticipated given the improved features and design.
Track Record of the Rumor:
- Sources like Fixed Focus Digital and Majin Bu have a mixed record, so take this with a grain of salt. Still, the idea of a revamped name and upgraded specs aligns with Apple’s recent trends.
If these rumors hold true, the iPhone SE 4 (or iPhone 16E) could redefine Apple’s entry-level lineup.

Magic Mouse Overhaul Rumored
Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman has weighed in on rumors of a next-gen Magic Mouse featuring voice control and hand gestures. While he finds the idea logical given Apple’s AI advancements, he clarified there’s no concrete evidence of such a feature—yet.
Key Takeaways:
• Voice Control Rumors: Korean leaker “yeux1222” claims Apple is prototyping a Magic Mouse with touch, voice, and gesture controls. Gurman acknowledges the potential but believes the rumor may stem from misinterpretation of his earlier reports.
• Ergonomic Redesign: Apple is reportedly focusing on a more ergonomic design and enhanced gestures for the refreshed Magic Mouse.
• Future-Proofing: Voice control could align with Apple’s AI strategy, enabling Siri integration and voice commands for tasks. While not immediately essential, such features could be pivotal in 5–10 years.
• Charging Port Relocation: Gurman confirms Apple plans to move the charging port from the bottom to a more accessible location—finally addressing a long-standing complaint.
• Launch Timeline: Both Gurman and yeux1222 suggest the redesigned Magic Mouse could debut in 2026, possibly alongside an OLED MacBook Pro.
The Magic Mouse hasn’t seen major updates since 2019, making this potential overhaul exciting for Apple fans. What are your thoughts on voice control and gestures for the Magic Mouse? Let me know!
