My iPhone 13 Pro 120hz is not working

My iphone 13 pro (which has promotion and 120hz) is still stuck at 60hz , I have low power mode off and limit frame rate off and its still at 60hz , even with those two features on its still the same , i hope someone else has had the same problem so i can fix it

i’ve compared it to having low power mode on and off it is the same , i have also compared it with my friends iphone 13 pro and his is way more smoother , i’ve also seen a lot of phone with a 120hz such as 13 pro max , 14 pro and 15 pro and 16 pro max and they all have a big difference

Are you comparing the motion apples to apples, as in on the exactly the same pages or sites? Ultimately, since there is no setting, which shows whether you are on 120hz or not, if you are convinced there is an issue, you should schedule an appointment at your Apple Store Genius Bar and let Apple see the phone. Since it's an iPhone 13 Pro, which was discontinued in September 2022, your phone is most certainly no longer under warranty. If a repair is required, you'll have to pay for it. I guess the question is how important is this to you? Another question would be if the phone has ever had the screen replaced? And if it was, was it replaced by Apple itself or an Apple Authorized Service Provider, like BestBuy in the US? If it was replaced by anyone other than Apple or an Authorized provider, you likely don't have a Promotion Display on the phone. Only Apple or an Authorized Provider have access to authentic Apple Parts. If this is your situation, there would be no point in taking it to Apple. They won't touch a phone with aftermarket parts installed.


Finally, did you buy the phone brand new from Apple when they still sold them? Or perhaps, did you buy a used iPhone, which could be refurbished, not by Apple.

Since you bought a used iPhone it certainly could have had the screen replaced. If you go to Settings > General > About, do you see anything which says unauthorized parts are installed on your phone? You can take it to an Apple Store and see if they would be willing to replace the screen with an authentic screen, but they may refuse to do it. Apple typically won't touch an iPhone which has been tampered with.
