It DOESN’T lock to 60! It moves from 10 to 60 as opposed to 10 to 120. Just try it yourself and see the difference!

I also thought it was negligible difference until I tried it myself on both my 13 and 14 pro max.

The 14 pro max is a touch better as it drives the screen down to 1hz, but it is still a significant difference, nevertheless.

Testers have literally done this and the difference is negligible. If anything some tasks when the phone is locked to 60hz will use more battery since the phone with ProMotion 120hz off can go below 60hz. It very much sounds like an actual problem with your phone if you’re seeing significant drain with the feature on, get it checked by apple.

Yeah I wouldn’t do that to a high end phone especially when I’m already getting crazy battery with it on. You also shouldn’t be seeing much of an improvement locking your phone to 60hz since because it’s a variable 120hz for example with the 10-120hz refresh rate the phone can depending on what your doing go well below 60hz to save even more battery life it is more practical to leave the feature on to save battery life.

Again if your having battery issues with 120hz ProMotion on that is not normal. The battery tests have been done with the feature on and the Max phones have easily beaten out android counterparts and obviously other iPhones. See what else could be the issue since most people can get 2 days if not a bit longer with the Max.

Reply to An Android Users Opinions of the iPhone 14 Pro Max by ImCraigFuckingCulver

Good write up! I also came from android—Pixel 6 Pro to 14 Pro and agree with pretty much everything you said. Just a few small things:

  1. The camera experience (app) is definitely better, but I personally prefer the pixel’s photos, and google’s astrophotography mode and zoom is much better.
  2. For customization, it’s a bandaid solution, but you can make “invisible” shortcuts by having their icon be the exact same as the wallpaper below them, thus forcing apps lower.
  3. I think carplay issues are more to do with the car than then phone.

Battery life is truly amazing, apple watch is much better than WearOS offerings, but keyboard and notifications are atrocious.

Sounds more like a batter issue. I have the 14 Pro Max and with moderate usage with 120hz on its often a 2 day phone. If it’s an intense day it’s all day late into the night. 13 Pro Max should be about the same. Keep in mind though high brightness and whatever your doing can cause the drain the phone doesn’t lock to 120hz so that should help it last a long time like it does for most.
