Sabrina Ortiz/ZDNETWith the iPhone 17, Apple finally made the 120Hz ProMotion display, which was typically limited to Pro users, uniform across the entire lineup, even the base model. In addition to the refresh rate, the phone now includes thinner borders with a slightly larger 6.3-inch display, which also happens to have 3,000 nits peak outdoor brightness, the highest ever on the base model.
