Sketchy rumor says iPad Air, iMac, and Studio Display could be updated to 90Hz

90fps sounds odd for the max frame rate 

Agreed. 90fps is strange. For those of us that just use our systems for writing, art, the web, you tube, Excel, and such it will make no difference and so wouldn’t be a reason to upgrade. On the other hand the serious gamer types that want the top of everything will sneer at it because it’s not 120, 180, 240, whatever number they are chasing this month. 90 really is just neither fish nor fowl. There would be no advantage to moving to that refresh rate.

What’s the point of having 120 Hz with a lowly 4K screen, 120 Hz means relatively little in that most people can’t see the difference the limits of human perception, whatever curated screen Apple comes up with it will be better than most of the computer industry and it will cost more however it won’t satisfy the gamer boys 120 Hz is all they care about. 

User of an 11 pro iPhone, M4, iPad Pro, and Apple XDR monitor all curated by Apple. The only difference I noticed between the three is when I compare them to non-Apple devices and most don’t compare not just the screen itself, but the overall fit and finish.

I agree completely. The only reason to bump them up, certanly something like an iPad, would be to chase a number. 

Makes sense. Apple roduxts ate ALL premium. The standard fare gets upgrades too. Doesn’t have to be limited to Pro - though Pro level will always have superior specs.
