It has been rumored for a while that theiPhone 12 Proand iPhone 12 Pro Max will have a 120Hz refresh rate, and now there’s yet more evidence, as both have appeared on a list of phones expected to launch with such a refresh rate this year.
That list was supplied byRoss Young(CEO of Display Supply Chain Consultants and a reputable leaker). It doesn’t include the standard iPhone 12 or iPhone 12 Max – unsurprisingly since they’re more basic models – but it does include some other as-yet unreleased phones, such as theHuawei Mate 40and, also unsurprisingly, theSamsung Galaxy Fold 2andSamsung Galaxy Note 20 Plus/Ultra.
We would of course take this list with a pinch of salt, but it lines up with other leaks, and Ross Young is a decent source of information, especially when it comes to screens.

But that’s not the only new iPhone 12 information, withkuaibao.qq.com(a Chinese news site) reporting information from supply chain channels that suggests the whole range of phones will be thinner than theiPhone 11range, with the iPhone 12 Pro Max coming in at 7.4mm (down from 8.1mm on theiPhone 11 Pro Max).
The site doesn’t say exactly how thin the other iPhone 12 models will be, but adds that the battery sizes in the iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max won’t exceed 4,400mAh – though that would still be an increase over their predecessors, with theiPhone 11 Prohaving a 3,046mAh battery and the iPhone 11 Pro Max a 3,969mAh one.
We’d say an increased battery size and a slimmer build are both fairly likely, so this information may well prove correct, but we certainly wouldn’t count on it, especially as this source isn’t one we tend to hear iPhone rumors from.
We should find out the reality in a few months, as the iPhone 12 range is expected to be announced in September. In the meantime, stay tuned to TechRadar for all the latest news, leaks and rumors.
