Release year	2026	2023
Display	6.3-inch Super Retina XDR OLED; 2622 × 1206; 460 ppi; Always-On Apple	6.7-inch (170 mm) Super Actua LTPO OLED; 1344 × 2992 at 489 PPI; 20:9; Smooth Display (1–120 Hz) An LTPO panel can drop the refresh rate as low as 1 Hz for static content, saving power with the always-on display and while reading, and rises to 120 Hz for motion. Google notes it is not available for all apps or content. Because the corners are rounded, the actual viewable area is less than 6.7 inches. Google
Refresh rate	ProMotion; adaptive, up to 120 Hz The display lowers its refresh rate for static content to save power, which lets the Always-On display stay lit. Apple	—
