Apple plans 90Hz display upgrade for iPad Air and iMac in 2025

macworld.com November 5, 2024, 03:01 PM UTC

Apple plans to upgrade the iPad Air's display from 60Hz to 90Hz next year, according to a new report. This change aims to position the iPad Air between the standard iPad and the iPad Pro.

The 90Hz refresh rate will provide smoother visuals but will be fixed, unlike the Pro's dynamic refresh rate that adjusts based on usage. The upgrade is also expected to extend to the iMac and Studio Display in 2025.

This development marks a significant enhancement for the iPad Air, which has not seen a refresh rate increase since its second generation in 2017.
