Apple’s iPad Air tipped to get 90Hz refresh rate display along with iMac and Studio Display | Tech Tips
Apple’s high refresh rate display of 120Hz is limited to the Pro models of the iPhones and iPads. There have been reports that next year’s non-Pro iPhone 17 variants will get a 120Hz display. Now an anonymous source has revealed to the Upgrade Podcast that Apple’s next-generation iPad Air and two more devices will get a 90Hz refresh rate screen. To recall, the 2024 iPad Air still has a 60Hz display.

The next-generation iPad Air will reportedly get a 90Hz refresh rate display and be powered by an M3 processor. The tablet is said to retain the LCD panel. The upgraded display will deliver smooth scrolling and animations. Additionally, alongside the iPad Air, the 90Hz display will also make its way to the 24-inch iMac and the next-generation Studio Display. The screen on both is still limited to 60Hz.
This is the first time we’re hearing about Apple working on a 90Hz display. The company only offers devices with 60Hz standard and 120Hz ProMotion displays. It seems that the Cupertino-based tech giant could finally bump the refresh rates on its products starting next year. The company has lagged behind in this aspect and its competitors release devices with higher refresh rate screens across various price brackets.
The iPad Air is expected to debut early next year. Apple’s Studio Display was last updated in 2022 but there’s no concrete launch timeline of its next generation. Meanwhile, the brand updated the iMac just last week, so its successor could only arrive in late 2025.
Still, the rumour appears to be sketchy due to the leaker’s anonymity. Hence, it is recommended to take this with a grain of salt.
