A user has discovered a new feature on the iPhone 16 Pro that limits the refresh rate to 80 Hz.
A video recently posted by user Ice Universe shows a short fast scrolling session with the iPhone 16 Pro that doesn’t exceed 80 Hz
On rare occasions, the screen jumps to 120 frames per second (Hz). This is clearly a notable upgrade on this new device.
It's not yet clear whether the new feature on the iPhone 16 Pro will make its way to the iPhone 15 Pro or iPhone 14 Pro running iOS 18.
If it does, it would help the iPhone save some battery power instead of having to run the motions at a more resource-intensive 120Hz refresh rate.
Apple quietly rolled out features that could get sued for not informing users.

This isn't the only trick Apple has introduced to iPhones running iOS 18 aimed at improving battery life on the device.
Previously, Geekbench 6 results for both single-core and multi-core tests showed lower speeds on devices after the new operating system update.
Apple is said to have introduced a small delay that prevents the high-performance cores from reaching their turbo clock frequencies immediately, reducing the strain on battery power.
While this is commendable, Apple needs to understand that it needs to inform

customers if it is actually throttling their devices to avoid a situation like the “batterygate” incident of the past, where thousands of customers filed complaints against Apple for slowing down their
iPhones as their batteries aged to preserve battery life. Some said they still wanted optimal performance even if they had to recharge their batteries more frequently.
According to reports, this little feature was discovered by a Reddit user who said he accidentally discovered
that he could check the time at any time from the iPhone's status bar, something that has existed on the Apple Watch for a while.
Previously, when the Apple Watch ran out of battery, users could still see the time right on their watch.
This update is essentially an extension of the Power Reserve feature that was introduced in iOS 15. At that time,
Apple added a “Find My” feature that allows you to find your iPhone even if it is dead or turned off, allowing you to locate your phone.
This little feature can be very useful for those who suddenly run out of battery but have no device to check the time. It can be useful in emergency situations.
