Apple display technology could be set for a big upgrade next year.

After yesterday’s rumours about the iPhone, new reports suggest that the iPad and more could get a similar treatment.

Applemay be one of the biggest companies in the world, but that doesn’t free them of criticism. For many, one of the biggest gripes for years has been the slow refresh rate on devices like the non-ProiPhones.

That’s true even on the devices they released this year – theiPhone 16still only features a 60Hz refresh rate. Rumours emerged yesterday suggesting that could change next year.

Now, it looks as though that move to higher refresh rates won’t be limited to just theiPhone. According to an unnamed source on theUpgrade podcast(via9to5Mac), similar updates will come to someiPadsand the24-inch iMac.

The full quote is as follows, “I have news on screen improvements for the next generation of theM3 iPad Air. Apple is working on a higher refresh rate LCD display with a new liquid motion panel fixed at around 90Hz. They’re also working on expanding it to other models or products like a 24-inch iMac and a next-gen studio display.”

That’s an interesting upgrade. It would certainly be unusual to have a panelfixedat 90Hz. That would do away with all of the benefits associated with an adaptive refresh rate.

There’s also no word on how soon to expect these updates. TheiPad Airin question is anticipated for early 2025, but there has been no word on anotherStudio Display. The new iMac was only unveiled last week, too, so the chances of an update to that coming any time soon are slim.

Still, it’s certainly a step forward for the range. The lack of faster refresh rates has been a bug bear of potential users for years at this point, with many far cheaper devices outstripping Apple’s when compared spec-for-spec.
