It is likely that some third-party applications do not take full advantage of the Promotion screen of the iPhone 13 Pro due to a flaw that Apple has recognized, and that it will solve very soon with a software update.
A few days ago Apple presented its new line of iPhone 13 devices, and one of the key characteristics for its commercialization is the inclusion of a functionality in the iPhone 13 Pro with Promotion screens that are capable of adapting high variable refresh rates reaching a maximum of 120 Hz.
But as reported from 9to5mac, certain animations of third-party applications today only run at 60 Hz, and although different circumstances have been considered for this, Apple has confirmed that it is an error that will be solved soon.
And it is that after the first initial tests of iOS 15 they have seen that many third-party applications could not exceed the standard 60Hz refresh rate of the Promotion screen of the iPhone 13 Pro, and although it had previously been rumored that it could be limited, it is not, and it is simply a failure. That does not happen with Appleās own applications.
Apple has commented that developers must update their applications so that they can utilize this high refresh rate by fixing an entry to the plist of the affected application. But on the other hand, Apple adds that the animations created by technology Core Animation have been affected by an issue that will be fixed in a future software update.
Users who have purchased the pro version of the iPhone 13 to get the most out of their Promotion screen are likely to be disappointed for the first few days or weeks. And it is that these high refresh rate screens offer a multitude of benefits such as animations and smoother scrolling.
The good thing about this technology is that Promotion automatically enhance animations without developers having to write any custom code.
