Rumor: iPhone 19e may bring ProMotion display | Infinium-tech

It’s been less than a week since the iPhone 17e was announced, but we’re already getting the first batch of rumors about its successor. The iPhone 19e, which should launch in early 2028, is now rumored to bring a ProMotion display. That’s a variable refresh rate panel, in Apple parlance, which would be a breakthrough for the budget “E” lineup, which is thus far limited to 60Hz panels.

According to a new report from ZDNet KoreaApple is currently developing a new LTPO+ technology that uses oxide materials to both switch and drive transistors, improving power efficiency and faster response times.

The new display technology is expected to debut on the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro series as well as the next-generation iPhone Air and foldable iPhones. If successfully implemented on these high-end devices, regular LTPO panels will reach up to the iPhone 19e.

There is still a lot of uncertainty so it cannot be confirmed for sure that 19e will be updated to the LTPO panel. We also don’t have details on what type of promotion display will be used on the 19e, as not all promotion displays are created equal. For example, the panels of the iPhone 13 Pro series offered 10Hz to 120Hz variation, while the iPhone 14 Pro generation dropped the value as low as 1Hz.
